Authorized government agencies to "Take any and all necessary or proper actions to prevent the occurrence of vectors and vectorborne diseases." Gave power to tax, form boards, and abate (impose fines for mosquito control)
California Health and Safety Code
2063. In addition to abating the public nuisance and taking any necessary actions to prevent the recurrence of the public nuisance, a board of trustees may impose a civil penalty on the owner of the property for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2061. The civil penalty may not exceed one thousand dollars (S1,000) per day for each day that the owner of the property fails to comply with the district's requirements.
