This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
(1) Existing law requires vehicles to be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law imposes a vehicle registration fee to be paid to the Department of Motor Vehicles. A violation of the Vehicle Code is a crime. This bill would require that an additional registration fee, as determined by the Department of Motor Vehicles, be collected for race or show vehicles, as defined, and that those vehicles be designated as race vehicles on the certificate of registration. An owner or operator of a race vehicle who fails to pay this additional registration fee is subject to a fine of $1,000. Because a violation of this provision is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would require that the additional registration fees collected be deposited into the Street Racing Abatement Account within the General Fund, which would be created by the bill, and the fine collected be deposited into the Penalty Subaccount within the account, which would be created by the bill. The bill would require that moneys in the account and the subaccount, upon appropriation by the Legislature, be allocated to the Office of Traffic Safety within the Department of the California Highway Patrol to fund the development and implementation of street racing abatement programs by state or local law enforcement agencies. (2) 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.
