LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 324, Rubio.
Street lighting systems: City of Temple City.
(1) The Street Lighting Act of 1919 provides for an alternative system for making improvements to street lighting systems, as defined. The act authorizes, when, in the opinion of the city council of any city, the public interest or convenience requires, that the city may, among other things, order that any street lighting system be maintained in or along the whole or any part of any one or more of the streets in that city.
This bill would, in addition to the Landscaping and Lighting District of the City of Temple City’s existing authority to perform specified maintenance and operations under the Street Lighting Act of 1919, authorize
that district to also perform maintenance and make improvements pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.
(2) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Temple City.

Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
In addition to the district’s authority to perform street lighting maintenance and operations as specified in Section 18030 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting District of the City of Temple City may also perform maintenance and make improvements pursuant to Sections 22525 and 22531 of the Streets and Highways Code.SEC. 2.
The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique need to perform immediate maintenance and make improvements in the City of Temple City.
