SB 653, as introduced, Wieckowski. Vehicles: local agency charges: use of streets or highways.

Existing law prohibits a local agency from imposing a tax, permit fee, or other charge for the privilege of using its streets or highways, other than a permit fee for extra legal loads, after December 31, 1990, unless the local agency had imposed the fee prior to June 1, 1989.
