Opinion

KREMER, P. J.

In this appeal we are asked to decide whether school districts within the City of Chula Vista (the City) are bound to honor an exclusive franchise for trash hauling awarded by the City to plaintiff Laid-law Waste Systems, Inc. (Laidlaw). We conclude the school districts, as state agencies, are immune from the City’s trash collection regulations and are therefore free to independently contract with other trash haulers pursuant to the competitive bidding provisions of Public Contract Code section 20111.
