CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2007–2008 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 577

Introduced  by  Senator Oropeza

February 22, 2007

An act to amend Section 91.6 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to highways.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 577, as introduced, Oropeza. State highways: litter cleanup and abatement.
Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation shall have full possession and control of all state highways and associated property. Existing law requires the department to maintain the state highways and, within its maintenance programs relating to litter cleanup and abatement, to assign a high priority to litter deposited along state highway segments adjoining storm drains, streams, rivers, waterways, beaches, the ocean, and other environmentally sensitive areas. Existing law authorizes the department to use litter traps in drains as well as other technology in carrying out these responsibilities.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive, technical change to that provision.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

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


SECTION 1.

 Section 91.6 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended to read:

91.6.
 The department shall, within its maintenance programs relating to litter cleanup and abatement, assign a high priority to litter deposited along state highway segments adjoining storm drains, streams, rivers, waterways, beaches, the ocean, and other environmentally sensitive areas. The department may use litter traps in drains and any other effective technology in carrying out these the responsibilities set forth in this section.
