California SB922 clarifies local agencies' authority to charge for street maintenance and repair costs related to public services.

California SB922 amends the Vehicle Code to clarify that local agencies can charge for street maintenance and repair costs associated with providing public services, such as refuse collection and water, without these charges being considered taxes, permit fees, or charges for the privilege of using streets or highways. The bill respects local governments' existing authority to impose rates, fees, and charges for public services, as long as these charges are not for the privilege of using streets or highways.
