LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3097, as introduced, Campbell. Health: local agency

Existing law requires counties to provide or secure certain
public health care services, and authorizes the formation of
local health care districts and the establishment of municipal
hospitals for the purpose of providing needed public health
care services.
Existing law, the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, permits 2 or
more public agencies to enter an agreement to jointly exercise
any power common to the contracting parties.
This bill would permit one or more local public agencies,
including, but not limited to, cities, counties, cities and
counties, and local health care districts to enter into joint
powers agreements for the performance of their public health
duties.
This bill would permit these joint powers agreements to also
include private entity participants, and would authorize the
agreement to establish an insurance pooling arrangement for
the payment of unemployment compensation, tort, or other
liability, if one or more of the participating agencies is not a
governmental agency.
