California SB922 prohibits local agencies from imposing fees for using streets or highways unless the fee was in place before June 1, 1989.

California SB922 amends the Vehicle Code to clarify that local agencies cannot impose taxes, permit fees, or other charges for using streets or highways, except for extralegal loads, unless the fee existed before June 1, 1989. The bill respects local governments' authority to impose fees for public services, including street maintenance and repair costs, and rejects the interpretation in Rogers v. City of Redlands. Weight fees collected by the state for commercial vehicles are not considered charges for using streets or highways.
