Local Prepaid Mobile Telephony Services Collection Act.

Assembly Member Rogers ties the local prepaid mobile telephony charges framework to a defined sunset, specifying that its provisions would remain in force only through January 1, 2031 unless extended by a future statute enacted before that date.

The enacted measure adds a sunset to the part of the law governing prepaid service charges, stating that this part remains in effect until January 1, 2031 and, on that date, is repealed unless a later enacted statute deletes or extends the date. The immediate effect is to preserve the current framework only up to the sunset; the text does not specify a separate effective date beyond the sunset and does not codify additional operational mechanics within the enacted language.

From a fiscal and enforcement perspective, the law’s enacted provisions state that no reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because the act changes only penalty or crime definitions, within the government code framework, and would not create an ongoing state-mandated local program. The enacted text therefore does not introduce new enforcement mechanisms or funding obligations beyond what exists prior to the sunset, leaving any active administration of the local prepaid charges to continue only until the sunset date unless extended.

As a matter of policy context, the enacted text is narrowly scoped to codify a sunset for the local prepaid charges regime and does not, by itself, reassert the broader collection mechanics, fund deposits, or consumer protections described in accompanying legislative material. Observers should view the measure as a temporary continuation of the framework, contingent on future legislation enacted before the sunset if the policy goals are to be carried forward beyond January 1, 2031.
