   An act to add Section 1065 to the Fish and Game Code, relating to
entitlements.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1107, Berryhill. Automated License Data System: nonprofit
conservation organizations.
    Under existing law, all licenses, permits, tags, reservations,
and other entitlements authorized by the Fish and Game Code are
prepared and issued by the Department of Fish and Game or an
authorized license agent. Existing law authorizes specified persons
to obtain tags or stamps for the taking of specific animals or
aquatic species, if certain requirements are met. Existing law
authorizes the Fish and Game Commission to require and prescribe the
form of applications for licenses, permits, tags, reservations, and
other entitlements and the form of any contrivance to be used in
connection therewith. An existing regulation defines the Automated
License Data System as an automated system that replaced the
department's paper license inventory system.
   This bill would require the department, if it determines that a
nonprofit conservation organization, as defined, that seeks
promotion, exposure, and awareness of the organization, is eligible,
to include the organization's logo or other graphics in a space with
a link to the organization's Internet home page on the Automated
License Data System Online License Service Internet Web site (ALDS
Web site) for a time period agreed upon by the department and the
organization. The bill would authorize the department to impose a
charge on a nonprofit conservation organization for inclusion on the
ALDS Web site, and would prohibit that charge from exceeding the
costs of administering these provisions. The bill would require the
department to deposit revenues of the charge in the Fish and Game
Preservation Fund, to be available, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, exclusively to pay all initial and ongoing costs
associated with the direct administration of these provisions. The
bill would require the department to implement the links from the
ALDS Web site by January 1, 2015, if it determines that date is
feasible.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 1065 is added to the Fish and Game Code, to
read:
   1065.  (a) A nonprofit conservation organization seeking
promotion, exposure, and awareness of the organization on the
Automated License Data System Online License Service Internet Web

electronically to the organization's Internet home page, shall
submit, by September 30 of each year, a letter to the department
providing evidence that the organization meets the criteria set forth
in subdivision (c). If the department determines that the nonprofit

including, but not limited to, a license, easement, memorandum of
understanding, or lease, with the department to perform habitat or
other wildlife conservation work, to provide hunting or fishing
opportunities for the public, to raise funds on behalf of the
department, including, but not limited to, the sale of hunting
fundraising tags or related items, or to otherwise provide assistance
to the department that is consistent with the department's mission.
   (d) The department shall deposit revenues of the charge imposed
pursuant to subdivision (b) in the Fish and Game Preservation Fund,

portion of the costs of making changes to the Automated License Data
System necessary to implement this section.

License Data System Online License Service Internet Web site by
