Under existing law, the governing body of a county or municipality may assess fees, charges, and rates for the provision of solid waste services, and the governing body may recover outstanding solid waste utility fees, charges, and rates in a civil action, suspend solid waste services, or both. This bill would establish that the remedies available to the governing body of a county or municipality provided in the statute are the exclusive remedies for nonpayment of solid waste fees, charges, or rates. Under existing law, a person who has not been issued a certificate of exception and uses the solid waste system of a county or municipality, and fails to pay the solid waste fee, charge, or rate is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would remove the misdemeanor penalty. This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
