LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1372, Knight. Bear Valley Community Services District: mail service.
Existing law provides that certain community services districts may exercise specified powers within their jurisdiction by adopting a resolution.
This bill would authorize the Board of Directors of the Bear Valley Community Services District to contract with the United States Postal Service for mail delivery services, as described, to the district and its inhabitants, and would require the board to submit a ballot measure to the voters of the district if the board so contracts. It would also require the board to terminate the contract, if the voters reject the measure. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
