Read the official explanation
This bill relates to timelines for online information availability concerning the discontinuance of city utilities. Under current law, a proposal to discontinue a city utility and dispose of such utility by sale, whether upon the city council’s motion or upon the receipt of a valid petition, is subject to the approval of the voters of the city. The city must make the proposal available at least days before submitting a proposal for the election. Under the bill, the approval requirement is changed to require the city to make the proposal available at least days before submitting a proposal for the election.
