   A.   The effective date of the provisions; or
   B.   The accrual of the cause of action.
   Any such judicial proceeding brought for the purpose of adjudicating the validity of any rule, order, regulation, determination or arbitration award which purports to have been made pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or of any of the other franchise documents shall be commenced not later than thirty (30) calendar days following the date of adoption, issuance or making of such rule, order, regulation, determination or arbitration award or, as to the franchisee, not later than thirty (30) calendar days following the giving and serving of notice of said adoption, issuance or making of such rule, regulation, determination or arbitration award pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.28.080 of this chapter. No judicial proceeding shall be commenced in violation of the limitations prescribed by this section.
   The provisions of this section shall not be applicable to any judicial proceeding, whether for the recovery of damages or otherwise, commenced by the cable television commission, county or cities for breach or enforcement of the provisions of this chapter or any regulation, determination or arbitration award purporting to have been issued thereunder. (Prior code § 20.01.048)
5.28.210   Changes in law.
   Should the state of California or any agency thereof, the United States or any federal agency, or any state or federal court require either the cable television commission, county, cities or a franchisee to act in a manner which is inconsistent with any provisions of the franchise documents, the board of directors of the cable television commission shall be authorized to determine whether a material provision of the franchise documents is affected in relation to the rights and benefits conferred by the franchise documents upon the commission, county, cities or the public. Upon such determination, the franchise documents shall be subject to modification or amendment to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the full intent and purposes thereof in relation to the rights and benefits of the commission, county, cities or the public and in relation to such state, federal or judicial requirement. The board of directors of the cable television commission may terminate a franchise issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter if it determines after consultation with the franchisee that substantial and material compliance with the franchise documents in relation to the rights or benefits of the commission, county, cities or the public has been frustrated by such a state, federal or judicial requirement.

   It is unlawful for any person, without the consent of the owner, to willfully tamper with, remove, injure or vandalize any part of such a cable television system including any cables, wires, or equipment used for distribution of television signals, radio signals, pictures, programs or sound.
