CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 554
| Introduced by Senator Archuleta |
February 18, 2021 |
An act to amend Section 50110 of the Government Code, relating to local government.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 554, as introduced, Archuleta.
Cities and counties: publications at public expense: distribution.
Existing law prescribes powers and duties that are common to cities and counties. In this regard, existing law requires the legislative body of these entities, among others, to furnish the applicable clerk 3 copies of each printed, mimeographed, or processed book, pamphlet, report, bulletin, or other publication issued by them at the expense of the local agency and the clerk is, in turn, required to send copies to specified repositories for reference use in those institutions.
This bill would increase the number of each printed, mimeographed, or processed book, pamphlet, report, bulletin, or other publication that is required to be provided to a clerk, as described above, to 5 copies. By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The
California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
