This section defines what counts as a 'public agency' under this specific legal framework. It includes a wide range of government-related entities, such as federal and state departments, counties, cities, schools, public corporations, and Indian tribes. Additionally, any joint powers authority formed by these entities is also considered a public agency.

This law is called the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, which suggests it deals with entities working together to use certain powers collectively. This name may be used as a reference when discussing or citing the Act.

This law says that no state agency or officer in California can make agreements on their own if the law requires the approval of the Department of General Services or its Director. They need to get the required approval before proceeding.

This section allows multiple public agencies to work together on shared projects or powers, like taxing or holding events, if approved by their leaders. Even if different agencies are in different states, they can still collaborate. They don't all need to have authority in the area where the power is used. Essentially, if agencies have common powers, like holding fairs or exhibitions, they can team up to manage these activities.

This law allows a public agency that can provide retail electric services to create a partnership with other public agencies in the Coachella Valley Service Area to offer these services together, even if some partners can't provide these services by themselves.

The Coachella Valley Service Area refers to territories within the Imperial Irrigation District in Riverside County and the Torres Martinez Reservation, as defined by a specific resolution.

This law section states that for any agreements made for joint governance or management, any powers that a public agency can use should also be assumed to be available to any federally recognized tribe involved in that agreement. Essentially, if a public agency can do something, the tribe in the agreement can too.

The Resource Conservation Energy Joint Powers Agency has the ability to finance and operate biogas and electricity projects, which use animal or agricultural waste as fuel. These projects can be built inside or outside the agency's usual area, specifically in Fresno, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, and Tulare Counties. However, before working on projects outside its normal area, the agency must get approval from the county's board of supervisors where the project will take place.

This law allows two or more public agencies, if approved by their respective governing bodies, to work together on tasks related to handling liquid, toxic, or hazardous wastes or materials. They can share their powers to identify, plan for, monitor, control, regulate, dispose of, or reduce these substances. These agencies can also use specially trained and skilled people to provide certain services to handle these tasks. It's important to note that this law simply reaffirms powers that already exist, and doesn't limit any current authority.

This section requires that any agreements specify what they are for and how the goals will be achieved or powers used. Essentially, agreements must be clear about their purpose and execution method.

This law states that if a county of the second class in California allocates property tax money to a fire protection agency, that money must only be used for fire protection activities. This includes tasks related to fire prevention, firefighting, emergency medical services, handling hazardous materials, ambulance transport, disaster preparedness, rescue operations, and the necessary administrative functions.

Importantly, this law does not affect how cities or counties choose their ambulance service providers.

This law says that if a joint powers agreement creates a new agency or entity separate from the parties who made the agreement, that new group must file a notice with the Secretary of State within 30 days. This notice should include details like the names of each public agency involved, when the agreement started, what the agreement is for, and any changes made to the agreement. If they fail to file this notice on time, the agency cannot issue bonds or take on any debt until they file the required notice.

This California law requires that when any agency files a notice of a new or amended agreement with the Secretary of State, they must also send the full agreement to the Controller. If the agreement involves a joint powers authority providing city, district, or county services, the agency must file the agreement with the local agency formation commission within 30 days of its effective date.

If the required filings are not made within 30 days, the agency cannot issue bonds or take on new debt until the filings are complete. This ensures that the necessary records are kept and accessible to the relevant county agencies.

If a new law impacts an existing joint powers agreement, the agency responsible for it must file a notice with the Secretary of State within 90 days. This notice will also be sent to the Controller. Until this is done, the agency can't issue bonds or take on new debts. As part of this process, the Secretary of State can charge fees to cover filing costs, but these fees cannot be more than what it costs to process the work.

By July 1, 2017, any joint powers agency formed to provide city, district, or county services must file copies of their agreement and any changes to it with the local agency formation commission in areas where their members are located. If they don’t meet this requirement, they can’t issue bonds or take on new debt until they do.

This law allows parties in an agreement to decide how to use and distribute funds or resources for a shared project. They can contribute money from their budgets, use public funds to cover costs, make advances with public funds to be repaid later, or use personnel, equipment, or property instead of money. A designated agency or nonprofit corporation can manage and distribute the funds for the project.

This section outlines the rules for accounting and auditing when multiple government entities agree to work together (joint powers agreement). They must keep accurate financial records and report all their transactions. If a new entity is created, an auditor must conduct an annual financial audit unless another government audit already covers this. The audit must meet certain state standards and be publically available. If a nonprofit runs the agreement, it still requires an annual audit. All audits are paid for from the entity's funds. Agencies can choose a two-year audit cycle instead of annual. They are exempt from new audits if financial statements are already covered by another federal audit.

This law requires that when parties make an agreement, they must appoint a public official or person who will be responsible for handling or having access to any property of the agency involved. This designated person must also provide an official bond, which is a form of insurance, in an amount determined by the parties involved in the contract.

When an agreement creates a separate agency or entity, that agreement must designate a treasurer or a certified public accountant to handle the agency's money. This person is responsible for receiving and keeping track of all funds, ensuring they are safely managed and disbursed as needed. They must pay off debts on time, and only release funds when approved by a designated public officer.

Quarterly reports detailing the current balance, and any received or disbursed amounts, must be sent to the agency and contracting parties. The auditor, who must be from the same entity as the treasurer or CPA, issues payments. The governing body decides the charges for the treasurer and auditor's services.

This law explains how a group of parties can decide who will carry out an agreement they all share. The administrator can be one of the parties involved, a specially-formed board or commission, or even an outside firm or nonprofit. The parties involved can also agree to share services among themselves without having to pay each other, beyond the exchange of services.

This law states that an agency created through an agreement between different parties is considered a separate public entity from those parties.

This law allows an agency formed through an agreement between cities, counties, or public districts in California to exercise powers specified in that agreement, such as making contracts or managing property. If the agency is not one of the agreement's parties but a public entity, it can still act independently, like suing or being sued in its own name. However, the agency cannot take over property owned by public utilities.

The governing body of such an agency, created after the 1969 amendment, may include only elected officials from the agreement's parties. Existing agreements can be modified to follow this structure. The governing body can also delegate some of its functions to another group, but it must approve the agency's annual budget.

Moreover, officials from one party to the agreement can serve on the agency's governing body if the agency enters into deals with that party.

This law states that if a certain agency created by an agreement is a public entity, its financial responsibilities, including debts and liabilities, are shared by the parties involved in the agreement unless there's a specific provision in the agreement that says otherwise. However, the agreement cannot alter who is responsible for the agency's retirement liabilities if the agency is involved with a public retirement system.

Additionally, 'public retirement system' refers to any pension or retirement plan offered by a public employer, including independent plans or systems that adhere to specific sections of the U.S. tax code governing employee benefits.

This law outlines the process for handling retirement obligations when an agency that utilizes a public retirement system, either through participation or contract, dissolves or stops its operations. Agencies must agree on how to divide these obligations among themselves, ensuring the total equals 100% of the liabilities. If they can't agree, the board managing the retirement system will decide based on service share or population. Agencies have 30 days to challenge the board's decision through arbitration, and the arbitrator's decision is binding and must be completed within 60 days.

If an agency is terminating, it must settle these obligations before the termination is effective. This law applies retroactively to agencies with agreements as of January 1, 2019, but not to those dissolved before that date. It also clarifies that the claims time limits start when a judgment is given against an agency for breaching retirement obligations.

This law states that when multiple parties enter into an agreement, the party chosen in the agreement must follow any limitations on how they exercise their power. These limitations are based on the restrictions that usually apply to that particular party.

This law allows any agency or entity formed under this chapter to invest any money they have that isn't needed right away. These investments must follow the same rules as those for local agencies under another government code.

If a nonprofit is managing these agreements, it must also invest any funds it holds in the same way local agencies do.

This statute allows a joint powers authority (an organization formed by two or more local government agencies) to buy or obtain certain rights and interests from a local agency. Specifically, it can purchase or take over assessment contracts and related rights, like liens or subsidies, that the local agency has under certain financial agreements related to streets and highways. The details of the transaction, such as terms and conditions, are to be decided between the authority and the local agency involved.

This law allows two or more public agencies in California to pool their funds and invest them jointly. They can do this by creating what's called a joint powers authority. This authority can invest in certain securities and can issue shares to each participating agency. Each share signifies an equal part ownership in the pool of investments. To do this, the joint powers authority must hire an experienced investment adviser who is registered with the SEC, has over five years of relevant experience, and manages over $500 million in assets.

Under this law, 'public agency' includes nonprofit organizations made up of public agencies or officials. Even federally recognized Indian tribes can join this investment pool if they meet the conditions set by the joint powers authority.

This law section states that any property gained from working together with shared authority must be addressed in terms of how it will be divided, shared, or handled.

This law states that once the purpose of an agreement is fulfilled, any leftover money must be returned to the parties involved. The return should be proportional to how much each party originally contributed.

This law says that if an agreement involves acquiring, building, or running a facility that makes money, the agreement can include terms for reimbursing or paying back the contributions made by the parties involved. It can also specify how any profits from the facility are distributed. These payments should happen when and how the agreement describes and can occur anytime before ending the agreement or completing the project's goals.

This law allows local public entities to form agreements to pool their self-insurance claims. If such an agreement ends for any party, it doesn't mean the purpose is completed or that funds must be returned, unless all parties agree to end it. These agreements won't count as a certain type of formal agreement, provided that the entity managing it is in the pool and buys insurance to cover its activities. After everything is settled, any leftover money should be given back in proportion to what each entity contributed and what claims were paid.

This law allows state departments or agencies that provide services or facilities for people with intellectual disabilities and their families to make agreements according to the rules of this chapter.

This law allows any public agency to make agreements with other state agencies according to the rules set out in Section 11256.

This section allows a joint agency, formed by an irrigation district and a city, to issue revenue bonds to fund water supply projects. These projects could cover various uses like domestic or industrial water supply, fire protection, or recreation. The agency can take this action under certain circumstances and the Revenue Bond Law of 1941. To proceed, both the irrigation district and the city must hold an election, and the majority must support the bond proposition. The authority of this section expired after December 31, 1973, unless delayed by legal proceedings, in which case it continued until one year after the legal issue was resolved.

This law allows public agencies involved in fairs or exhibitions to team up through a joint powers agreement to create a shared insurance pool. This pool covers costs like workers' compensation and liability claims. It specifies that such arrangements are exempt from a particular section of the Government Code. The Department of Food and Agriculture can make these agreements for the California Exposition and State Fair and similar events. Counties working with nonprofits to host fairs can also enter these agreements but must manage existing liabilities if the nonprofit dissolves its contract. Entities in these agreements must maintain a reserve fund to cover potential losses and ensure financial stability.

This section allows a joint powers agency in Orange County to issue bonds to help local agencies with certain financial needs. Specifically, the funds can be used to manage pension liabilities or deal with overdue local taxes or assessments. Even if other laws might suggest otherwise, these bonds or loans have flexible terms agreed upon by the local agency and the joint powers authority, covering how they will be paid back, including interest and security.

This law allows a group formed by multiple government agencies working together (called a joint powers agency) to set up a fund that can pay for losses related to general liability. This is specifically for participants and exhibitors in events or programs organized at fairgrounds. However, the total payments that can be made for these losses must not be more than the total amount available in the fund for that particular program.

This law allows joint powers agencies to issue bonds to finance obligations for local agencies like unfunded pension liabilities or delinquent taxes. Local agencies can borrow money and transfer their rights to collect overdue taxes to these agencies.

Joint powers agencies can take over the collection process and handle outstanding taxes, and the original local agency gets paid the agreed amount within a specified period. This law clarifies how school districts report their tax receipts, ensuring they receive 100% of assigned delinquent tax amounts. The state isn't liable for any unpaid amounts by joint powers authorities, and these agencies must cover any extra administrative costs from counties.

Furthermore, this section confirms the additional powers granted to joint powers authorities, emphasizes the legality of their actions, and sets a short period for appealing related court judgments. However, as of 2007, they can't acquire delinquent tax rights from Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds anymore.

This law allows public agencies and private child care providers to team up and create a joint financial pool to handle unemployment or liability costs. However, to be part of this pool, each member must separately meet specific unemployment insurance requirements. Additionally, they must set up a financial reserve, which should have enough money to cover potential losses adequately.

This law allows two or more harbor agencies to create a joint powers authority, which is a cooperative arrangement, using the guidelines set out in the specified part of the Harbors and Navigation Code. This authority helps them work together on mutual projects or goals.

This law allows a group of members like public agencies and nonprofits, involved in hosting fairs, exhibitions, and educational events, to pool their resources to cover costs from liability and other losses, including workers' compensation. These groups can form a 'joint powers agency' to manage risks together through various pooling arrangements. Nonprofit corporations participating can receive services and programs similar to those provided to members of the joint powers agency. However, the total payments in any pooling arrangement cannot surpass the funds available in that specific pool. The law also supports compensating losses tied to special event lessees, users, and participants at educational institutions, ensuring broad protection coverage for activities related to public schools, community colleges, and universities in California.

This law allows California's Department of General Services to team up with other public agencies to create or join an entity that can buy land and build state offices and parking facilities. They can also fund these projects by issuing revenue bonds.

Additionally, the department can lease state property to this joint entity and make lease-purchase agreements on behalf of California, with terms up to 50 years and any conditions deemed beneficial to the state.

All agreements of this kind need legislative approval as part of the budget process before being finalized. This law does not affect other authorities under Section 8169.4.

This law allows the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles to lend up to $4 million to the Department of General Services and the Los Angeles State Office Building Authority. This money is meant for planning and preparing bid documents for a potential state office building in downtown Los Angeles.

If the decision is made not to go ahead with the building by June 30, 1987, the Department must repay the Agency by the end of 1987 from a designated fund. If construction proceeds, the Agency will be reimbursed from bond or construction funds. The law also allows the Authority to manage parking facilities and amend terms of board members as necessary.

This law allows the Department of General Services in California to partner with other public agencies to finance the purchase of real estate, including office and parking facilities, through joint powers agreements. They can also issue certificates of participation, which are financial instruments similar to bonds, under the guidance of the Treasurer.

The Treasurer can also take on the roles of treasurer or fiscal agent for these certificates. The department is allowed to lease or buy property for the state for up to 25 years through arrangements with the joint powers agency. They must inform the Legislature and the California Transportation Commission 30 days in advance of announcing proposals or purchasing property.

After acquiring and using new property, the Department of Transportation is required to sell an existing office building in San Francisco and use the sale proceeds to reduce financing costs for the new property.

This law allows joint powers agencies to finance or refinance the purchase of transit equipment without being limited by other agreements. They can do this by entering into common business agreements like leases or purchase contracts and may sell or negotiate these contracts publicly or privately. Importantly, the title to the equipment doesn't belong to the agency until payment is completed.

The law specifies steps agencies must follow, including selling or assigning equipment to a trustee, ensuring agreements are acknowledged legally, and making sure legal documents are filed correctly. It ensures agreements do not conflict with existing financial obligations and all pertinent covenants are included.

Agreements must be filed with the Secretary of State, which serves as public notice to creditors or buyers. Fees can be charged for this filing, and any transit vehicles involved must be clearly marked with the owner's or lessor's information.

This law ensures that the State of California makes a promise to those who hold bonds from agencies or entities formed by multiple cities or counties working together. The state commits not to alter the makeup of these entities unless a majority of each involved city or county's legislative body or the local voters agree to the change. Changes include adding or removing any public agencies or officials involved in these agreements.

This law allows the Board of Supervisors of Siskiyou County and the city councils within Siskiyou County to collaborate on creating an agency. This agency would be responsible for managing and developing the Randolph E. Collier Safety Roadside Rest Area. The agency's tasks include construction, improvement, financing, leasing, maintaining, and operating the site. Additionally, they can expand the site to include cultural, tourism, fisheries, water, natural resource, and habitat interpretation activities.

This law says that if a California state department or agency teams up with federal, county, or city governments or agencies to form a joint powers agency, they have to include certain participation goals in their agreement. These goals relate to who gets contracts and come from specific parts of the Public Contract Code and Military and Veterans Code. Their aim is to ensure fair contracting practices by the new agency.

The West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, formed through a joint agreement by the City of West Sacramento and two reclamation districts, has the authority to manage flood control projects to ensure at least 200-year flood protection. They can use powers similar to those granted to reclamation districts under specific parts of the Water Code.

Before 2009, the agency was allowed to borrow money and levy special assessments to repay this debt for flood control purposes under specific local improvement laws.

This section allows Selma Community Hospital, a private nonprofit in Fresno County, to partner with specific public hospital districts through a joint powers agreement. These partnerships can engage in joint planning, service allocation, purchasing, development, and healthcare delivery innovations. Also, they must hold a public hearing before they can cut emergency services and provide at least 14 days' notice. No nonprofit can levy taxes, and only the parties specified can be in the agreement. Activities forbidden by other laws can't be conducted under this agreement.

This law allows a private, nonprofit hospital located in Contra Costa County to collaborate with a public agency by creating a joint powers agreement. This means they can work together by sharing responsibilities and resources, even if other parts of the law might normally prevent this.

This law allows a nonprofit hospital in Tulare County to partner with a public agency by forming a joint powers agreement. However, they cannot cut back on emergency services because of this partnership without holding a public hearing first. The public must be notified at least 14 days before any hearing about such changes, with details on what's being proposed.

Additionally, the nonprofit hospitals involved in these agreements don't get the power to impose taxes. Only nonprofit hospitals or public agencies can be part of these agreements.

This law allows private, nonprofit hospitals in Kings County to form partnerships called joint powers agreements with public agencies. They can team up to provide services but must keep emergency services intact unless a public hearing is held. The public must be notified at least 14 days before any such hearing. However, nonprofit hospitals can't impose taxes as part of these agreements, and only public agencies and nonprofit hospitals can be involved in these partnerships.

This law allows nonprofit hospitals in Tuolumne County to partner with public agencies through a joint powers agreement. These partnerships cannot reduce or eliminate emergency services without holding a public hearing first.

This law allows a mutual water company to partner with public agencies to share responsibilities or resources through what's called a joint powers agreement. Both parties can work together on common goals, like risk-pooling, where they can manage risks together without making a public agency liable for the company's debts. The joint agency can use its revenue to cover its expenses and help its members with technical and managerial support, aiming to cut down risks and improve capabilities. The term 'mutual water company' is defined as it is in another section of the law.

This law allows any public agency that is part of certain water and reclamation authorities in South Orange County to use the powers assigned to those organizations. These powers can be used even if the agency didn't originally sign the agreements that grant those powers. The goal is to promote efficiency in managing these regional authorities.

This section allows nonprofit health care corporations to join with health care districts to pool their self-insurance claims, but only after public agencies determine that the joint efforts further governmental purposes and maintain public agency control. Any joint powers agreement must maintain a reserve fund to cover potential losses and cannot exceed the pool's total resources. Public meetings must discuss the distribution of assets if the partnership dissolves.

Additionally, nonprofit hospitals participating cannot levy taxes, and the arrangement cannot ignore laws applicable to public agencies. The Self-Insurers’ Security Fund is not responsible if a participant in the agreement cannot meet its workers’ compensation liabilities.

This law states that charter schools can be treated like public agencies so they can join forces with other entities in a joint powers agreement. This allows them to pool resources to manage risks, like insurance or other liabilities, more effectively.

This law allows the Elk Valley Rancheria and the Smith River Rancheria, both federally recognized Indian tribes, to form partnerships with Del Norte County and Crescent City. These tribes can work together with local governments on projects related to airports, sewer, water, and transportation services. They're considered public agencies for these purposes. However, if these partnerships want to issue bonds to fund public works, they can only do so if the projects will be owned by the partnership or its members, and the repayment money must come from them, starting from January 1, 2004.

This law states that if a joint powers authority includes a federally recognized Indian tribe, it can't issue bonds under the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act unless the projects funded by these bonds are owned and maintained by the authority or its public agency members. Also, the money to repay the bonds must come from the authority, its members, or other eligible public funds—not from certain specific grants.

This law allows the creation of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, a joint entity formed by the City of Santa Clara and its Redevelopment Agency, to construct and manage a professional football stadium. The Stadium Authority can bypass usual bidding processes to select a design-build contractor if voters approve the project and it's deemed cost-effective. However, funds for construction can't come from property tax revenues or specific local funds, except for certain subcontracting costs. A private party must cover any budget overruns.

The authority must report on costs, timelines, and subcontracting processes after the stadium's completion. The law clarifies that it doesn't allow design-build methods for other infrastructure projects, and any impacts on state highways are handled by appropriate state departments.

If any part of this law is invalidated, the remainder still applies, without affecting other laws.

The Eastern Water Alliance Joint Powers Agency can provide funds to member agencies to buy water if it helps the Eastern San Joaquin County Groundwater Basin and the agency needs financial assistance. To run its operations, the Agency can also request funds from San Joaquin County, but it doesn't get priority over other public agencies.

Funds from the county must be kept separate, and used only for the Agency's projects. The Agency can charge landowners for groundwater improvements, but these charges must be fair, notified to landowners, and cannot be imposed if a majority protests. These charges can be collected with county property taxes and any unpaid charge becomes a lien on the property. Alternatively, members of the Agency can pay an amount equal to what would be collected from their area.

This law is known as the California Prison Inmate Health Service Reform Act. It allows the Department of Corrections to work together with health care districts to create regional agencies focused on inmate health services.

This law allows a group formed by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and other public agencies to issue special bonds called 'agency bonds' for water rate relief. These bonds help buy similar bonds from a related water utility, primarily to provide financial savings to water customers on the Monterey Peninsula by making use of tax exemptions. The bonds can only be issued if they are proven to save money for water users.

Additionally, the law allows the agency to issue bonds under certain articles and prohibits the agency from declaring bankruptcy as long as these bonds are still unpaid. This bankruptcy restriction continues for one year and one day after the bonds are fully paid off.

This law allows nonprofit organizations dedicated to zero-emission transportation to partner with public agencies through a joint powers authority (JPA) or agreement. Although these authorities can manage projects related to zero-emission transit, they cannot take on debt.

The focus of these partnerships is to develop and improve green transit systems that cut greenhouse gases and enhance public transit links. Such projects must employ a skilled workforce, and they've implemented guidelines to ensure fair wages and skilled labor use. Additionally, this law requires that any involved project labor agreements ensure compliance with workforce and wage standards.

This regulation is set to expire on January 1, 2032.

This section allows private, nonprofit health care organizations to collaborate with public agencies to form a joint powers authority (JPA) specifically for health care services. The JPA is considered a public entity but cannot incur debt or employ medical professionals directly.

Governance of this authority is through a board, with no more than 50% representation from private nonprofits. Projects related to health facilities construction require a workforce skilled in the specific trades, except when covered by certain labor agreements.

Contractors must certify that all construction workers are paid fair wages and that the workforce is adequately trained, providing detailed reports monthly, or face penalties. Exceptions exist if labor agreements cover the project actions around wages and workforce skill levels.

This act will expire on January 1, 2034.

This law states that the Board of Directors for the Orange County Fire Authority cannot have alternate members, regardless of any other laws that might suggest otherwise.

The agency must also adhere to state guidelines when using state funds.

This law allows the March Joint Powers Authority, which includes several cities and the County of Riverside, to transfer control of certain maintenance and community facilities districts back to Riverside County. It outlines that jurisdiction over landscaping and lighting maintenance districts can be transferred according to agreed terms, and community facilities districts can be transferred following specific legal procedures. This streamlines the process to revert land use authority to Riverside County.
