	AMENDED IN SENATE  JUNE 25, 2013

INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bocanegra

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Sections 8698, 8698.1, and 8698.6 of the Business
and Professions Code, relating to structural fumigation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1177, as amended, Bocanegra. Structural fumigation.
   Existing law, until January 1, 2014, establishes a structural
fumigation enforcement program that requires the Director of the
Department of Pesticide Regulation to provide oversight for the
program. Existing law authorizes the Los Angeles County Agricultural
Commissioner, the Orange County Agricultural Commissioner, the Santa
Clara County Agricultural Commissioner, and the San Diego County
Agricultural Commissioner to perform increased structural fumigation,
inspection, and enforcement activities, to be funded by 
fees   a $5 fee  paid by any person who performs a
structural fumigation in those counties, as specified. Existing law,
until January 1, 2014, authorizes the director to adopt regulations
to carry out those provisions, and to levy a civil penalty against
persons violating those provisions or regulations, as specified.
Existing law provides that the funds collected from the fees shall be
paid to the county and used for the sole purpose of funding
enforcement and training activities directly related to the
structural fumigation program.
   This bill would  increase the fee described above from $5 to
$8, and would  extend the operation of these provisions until
January 1, 2018, but  would  remove Santa Clara County from
the program.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
