CA SB1072

Requires local agencies to credit the amount of any property-related service fee or charge found by a court to violate California Constitution Section 6 of Article XIII D against future revenues needed to provide that service, rather than issuing refunds.

Applies to fees or charges for property-related services including water, sewer, and refuse collection.

Does not apply to billing errors or claims where refunds are explicitly provided by statute.

Declares that the bill furthers the purposes of Proposition 218 (Right to Vote on Taxes Act) and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, finding that Proposition 218 contains no affirmative intent to authorize refunds.

Identifies that water, sewer, and local government agencies set charges only to recover costs without profit, and refunds would require raising rates on future ratepayers.
