Bill Summary
This bill relates to solid waste collection and disposal services by creating exemptions for service charges. The bill allows real property owners to opt out of solid waste collection and disposal services (services) provided by a county or city if services are provided to the real property owner by a different entity. A real property owner who opts out of services will not be charged any fees associated with the services from the county or city. The opt-out will continue until the real property owner opts back in to the service or the title of the property changes. To opt out of the services, the real property owner must submit to the county or city an application that provides information relating to its alternative service provider, along with other information deemed necessary by the county or city. The applications must be approved unless unsatisfactory information is provided.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new process for property owners to opt out of solid waste collection and disposal services provided by counties and cities if they are already receiving these services from another entity. Specifically, property owners can submit an application to their county board of supervisors or city council to be exempted from paying fees for solid waste services. The application must include information verifying that an alternative waste collection service is in place. Once approved, the opt-out status will remain in effect for the property until the owner either chooses to opt back in or the property's title changes. The county or city must approve the opt-out application unless the submitted information is deemed unsatisfactory. Applications can be submitted in person, by mail, or online if the county or city provides an internet submission process. This legislation aims to provide property owners more flexibility in choosing their waste collection service provider and avoid being charged for duplicate services.
