AI Summary

  • Adds Section 53757 to the Government Code to prohibit agencies from being obligated to provide subsidies to cure funding deficiencies for property-related services (water, sewer, refuse collection) if specified conditions are met.

  • Agencies are not required to subsidize services when their governing board proposes fee or charge increases complying with California Constitution requirements and either a majority of parcel owners protest or voters reject the proposal.

  • Agencies are not required to subsidize services if property-related fees complying with constitutional requirements are reduced or repealed by voters through an initiative.

  • The prohibition on subsidies does not apply if the agency's governing board had agreed to subsidize services before completion of a majority protest proceeding or election.

  • Establishes detailed requirements for "full compliance" with constitutional property-related fee provisions, including that revenues match costs, fees are proportional, services are actually used or available, and property owners receive written notice with hearings.
