 BILL NUMBER: SB 1360INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Bates FEBRUARY 19, 2016 An act to amend Section 54983 of the Government Code, relating to local government. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1360, as introduced, Bates. Local government. Under existing law, the legislative body of any local agency, defined to mean a county, city, city and county, or public district, may contract with any other local agency for the performance by the latter of municipal services or functions within the territory of the former, but prohibits the force account limit applicable to the local agency contracting to receive services from being exceeded. Existing law excepts from that prohibition agreements made before January 1, 1981, or the current term of any self-renewing or renewable agreement entered into before that date. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 54983 of the Government Code is amended to read: 54983. Authority for entering into agreements pursuant to this chapter shall be construed as supplementing existing authority for legislative bodies of local agencies to enter into agreements for the providing of municipal services and functions and shall not be construed as authorizing the legislative body of any local agency to enter into an agreement for the providing of municipal services or functions which it is prohibited to provide by law or which exceeds the force account limit applicable to the local agency contracting to receive services. The amendments to this  section   section made by Chapter 398 of   the Statutes of 1980,  which become effective January 1, 1981, shall not apply to any agreement  which   that  was made prior to that date nor to the current term of any self-renewing or renewable agreement  which   that  had been entered into prior to that date.
