Motion (Rodriguez – Price) relative to requesting the City Attorney to report on the status of the current litigation involving the implementation of Assembly Bill 630 regarding the disposal of abandoned recreational vehicles.

This motion requests the City Attorney to report on the status of current litigation that is blocking the implementation of Assembly Bill 630 (AB 630). AB 630, signed into law in October 2025, raised the financial threshold for the disposal of impounded recreational vehicles (RVs) from $500 to $4,000 in Los Angeles and Alameda counties. The higher threshold aims to prevent unsafe and inoperable RVs from being auctioned and returned to public streets, thereby reducing health and safety risks to residents. The law also intended to streamline the disposal process by reducing required storage times. However, a Superior Court judge recently blocked the City's implementation of AB 630, ruling that the City lacks the legal authority for certain provisions, which may impede progress in addressing abandoned RVs.

A court ruling is preventing the City from implementing a new state law (AB 630) designed to more effectively remove abandoned and unsafe RVs from public streets. Residents may continue to experience issues related to abandoned RVs, including health and safety concerns, until this litigation is resolved.
