	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Gaines

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2015

   An act to amend Section 4212 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to fire prevention.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 265, as introduced, Gaines. Fire prevention fee.
   Existing law requires the State Board of Forestry and Fire
Protection, on or before September 1, 2011, to adopt emergency
regulations to establish a fire prevention fee in an amount not to
exceed $150 to be charged on each habitable structure on a parcel
that is within a state responsibility area, as defined, and
authorizes the board to annually adjust the fire prevention fee using
prescribed methods.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that law.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 4212 of the Public Resources Code is amended to
read:
   4212.  (a) (1) By September 1, 2011, the board shall adopt
emergency regulations to establish a fire prevention fee for the
purposes of this chapter in an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty
dollars ($150) to be charged on  each   every
 habitable structure on a parcel that is within a state
responsibility area.
   (2) The Legislature finds and declares that a fire prevention fee
of not more than one hundred fifty dollars ($150) is a reasonable
amount for the necessary fire prevention activities of the state that
benefit the owner of a habitable structure within a state
responsibility area.
   (b) On July 1, 2013, and annually thereafter, the board may adjust
the fire prevention fees imposed pursuant to this chapter to reflect
the percentage of change in the average annual value of the Implicit
Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of Goods and
Services for the United States, as calculated by the United States
Department of Commerce for the 12-month period in the third quarter
of the prior calendar year, as reported by the Department of Finance.

   (c) Emergency regulations adopted pursuant to subdivision (a)
shall be adopted in accordance with the rulemaking provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section
11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code).
The adoption of emergency regulations shall be deemed an emergency
and necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace,
health, and safety, or general welfare.
