LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 593, Gloria. Structural Fumigation Enforcement Program.

Existing law, until January 1, 2018, establishes a structural fumigation enforcement program that requires the Director of the Department of Pesticide Regulation to provide oversight for the program. Existing law requires any company performing a structural fumigation in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Santa Clara County, or San Diego County to pay the county agricultural commissioner a specified fee for each fumigation conducted at a specific location. Existing law authorizes the commissioners of those counties to perform increased structural fumigation, inspection, and enforcement activities to be funded by the required fee. Existing law requires these funds to 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 extend the operation of these provisions to January 1, 2023.
