Summary

Existing law prohibits, during any time of the year when burning permits are required in specified areas, any person from using or operating or causing to be operated in that area any portable saw, auger, or drill, or other portable tool powered by a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine on or near any forest-covered land, brush-covered land, or grass-covered land, within 25 feet of any flammable material, without providing and maintaining at the immediate locations of use or operation of the tool powered by a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine, for firefighting purposes one serviceable round point shovel, with an overall length of not less than 46 inches, or one serviceable fire extinguisher. Existing law provides that the violation of this law is a misdemeanor. This bill would instead require, in the above described scenario, the providing and maintaining at the immediate locations of use or operation of the tool powered by a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine, for firefighting purposes, 2 serviceable round point shovels, of any length, or 2 serviceable fire extinguishers. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
