What’s in it
AI summary County boards of supervisors can currently label certain roads as "area service C" to allow for less maintenance and restricted access. This law requires that if a road is given this label, the entire stretch between its access points must be classified that way, rather than just a single part or a bridge. Any existing road labels that do not follow this rule must be updated to match the new requirement.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, a county board of supervisors, after consultation with the county engineer, and for purposes of specifying levels of maintenance effort and access, may classify an area service system into three classifications termed area service “A”, area service “B”, and area service “C”. Area service “C” classification roads may have restricted access, but must allow access to adjoining landowners, and may have a minimal level of maintenance as specified by the county board of supervisors after consultation with the county engineer. A road with an area service “C” classification retains the classification until such time as a petition for reclassification is submitted to the county board of supervisors. The petition must be signed by one or more adjoining landowners. This bill provides that an area service “C” classification must apply to the entire portion of a road between the road’s access points. The bill prohibits a county board of supervisors from classifying as area service “C” only part of a road between the road’s access points, or only a bridge on the road. The bill provides that all area service “C” classifications currently in effect that are not compliant with the bill must be expanded or reclassified to meet the requirements of the bill on or before January 1, 2021.
