	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Nazarian

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2013

   An act to amend Section 38321 of the Vehicle Code, relating to
vehicles.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 577, as introduced, Nazarian. Vehicles: illegal disposal.
   Existing law prohibits a person from throwing or depositing in any
area various types of garbage, a substance likely to injure or kill
wild or domestic animal or plant life or damage traffic, or noisome,
nauseous, or offensive matter. A person who drops, dumps, deposits,
places, or throws that material, or who causes or permits that
material to be so dropped, dumped, deposited, placed, or thrown, is
required to remove the material or cause it to be removed and if a
person fails to take those actions, the governmental agency
responsible for the maintenance of the area, or the property owner of
the land on which the material has been deposited, may remove the
material and collect, by civil action, if necessary, the actual cost
of the removal operation and damages.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to the
provision requiring the removal of that material.
   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 38321 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
   38321.  (a)  Any   A  person who drops,

dropped, dumped, deposited, placed, or thrown, upon any area,
any   a  material described in Section 38320,
shall immediately remove the material or cause it to be removed.
   (b) If  such   a  person fails to comply
with  the provisions of  this section, the
governmental agency responsible for the maintenance of the area, or
the property owner of the land on which the material has been
deposited, may remove  such   the  material
and collect, by civil action, if necessary, the actual cost of the
removal operation in addition to any other damages authorized by law
from the person who did not comply with the requirements of this
section.
