CA AB3147

Replaces the 120-day statute of limitations for challenging fees with a new procedure requiring protests within 90 days and legal action within 180 days after local agency notice.

Changes the requirement for excess fee revenues from reducing fees to reimbursing the payer of the fee or service charge.

Repeals Section 66022 of the Government Code, which previously established the 120-day deadline for challenging fee ordinances and automatic fee adjustments.

Applies new procedures to judicial challenges of fees for water/sewer connections, capacity charges, zoning variances, building permits, and planning services.

Designates this as a state-mandated local program but specifies no state reimbursement is required because local agencies can levy sufficient service charges to cover the costs.
