Summary

The existing California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 allows each county, city, or district to determine aspects of solid waste handling that are of local concern and the means by which the services are to be provided. Existing law imposes specified restrictions on the enforceability of certain indemnity obligations related to source reduction and diversion contained in a provision, term, condition, or requirement in an ordinance, contract, franchise, license, permit, or other entitlement or right adopted, entered into, issued, or granted by a local agency. Existing law prohibits a solid waste enterprise, as defined, from being liable for the indemnity obligation under certain circumstances. This bill would impose certain restrictions on an indemnity obligation related to the failure of a local agency to obtain voter or property owner approval of a fee, levy, charge, assessment, or other exaction, if that indemnity obligation is assumed by, or imposed upon, a solid waste enterprise. The bill would prohibit an indemnity obligation from being enforced, to the extent of certain claims related to the liability of the local agency, or if it requires a solid waste enterprise to refund certain fees that are found by a final judgment of a court to have been imposed in violation of Article XIIIC or Article XIIID of the California Constitution. The bill would become operative on July 1, 2012, and would only apply to a provision, term, condition, or requirement contained in an ordinance, contract, franchise, license, permit, or other entitlement or right adopted, entered into, issued, or granted on or after July 1, 2012.
