	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1096, Nestande. Vehicles: specialized license plates: Salton
Sea.
    Under existing law, a state agency is authorized to apply to the
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to sponsor a specialized license
plate program, and the DMV is required to issue those license plates
if the agency meets certain requirements. Existing law also requires
the DMV to charge specified fees for certain services related to the
issuance of those plates.
   Under existing law, the Salton Sea Authority, a joint powers
authority, is authorized to form an infrastructure financing district
for purposes of restoring the Salton Sea.
   This bill would require the Department of Fish and Wildlife to
apply to the DMV to sponsor a special Salton Sea license plate
program, and would require the DMV to issue the license plates if the
Department of Fish and Wildlife meets certain requirements. The bill
would also require the revenue generated from the license plates, as
specified, to be deposited in the Salton Sea Restoration Account
created by the bill in the Specialized License Plate Fund, for use,
upon appropriation by the Legislature to the Salton Sea Authority,
for restoring the Salton Sea.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 5163 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
   5163.  (a) The Department of Fish and Wildlife shall apply to the
department, pursuant to Section 5156, to sponsor a Salton Sea license
plate program. The department shall issue specialized license plates
for that program if the Department of Fish and Wildlife complies
with the requirements of Section 5156.
   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 5157, the
additional fees prescribed by Section 5157 for the issuance, renewal,
or transfer of the specialized license plates shall be deposited,
after the department deducts its administrative costs, in the Salton
Sea Restoration Account, which is hereby created in the Specialized
License Plate Fund. The funds in the account shall be used, upon
appropriation by the Legislature to the Salton Sea Authority, for
restoration of the Salton Sea.
