A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

SUPPORTING THE ADOPTION BY CONGRESS OF LEGISLATION
PROHIBITING UNFUNDED FEDERAL MANDATES FROM BEING IMPOSED ON
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Directors of South Tahoe Public
Utility District, County of EI Dorado, State of California, as follows:
'WHEREAS, unfunded federal mandates imposed on state and local
governments have become increasingly extensive in recent years; and
WHEREAS, unfunded federal mandates have, in many instances, added
to the growing deficits in state and local government budgets and have resulted in the
need for state and local governments to increase revenues and curtail sometimes
essential services; and
WHEREAS, the excessive fiscal burdens on state and local governments
have undermined, in many instances, the ability of state and local governments to I
I
achieve their responsibilities under state and local law; and
WHEREAS, Congressman Gary Condit introduced legislation in the 103rd
Congress that would have prohibited unfunded federal mandates; and
WHEREAS, this legislation would have provided that any requirement
under a federal statute or regulation that a state or local government conduct an
activity shall apply to the government only if all funds necessary to pay the direct
costs incurred by the government in conducting the activity are provided by the
federal government; and
WHEREAS, this legislation was cosponsored by a bipartisan majority of
230 members of Congress; and
