Summary

(1) Existing law authorizes a county, upon the adoption of a resolution by its board of supervisors, to impose a fee on motor vehicles, as specified, that is paid quarterly to the Controller and continuously appropriated for disbursement to the county, as specified, to be used to fund programs relating to vehicle theft crimes. Existing law requires a county that imposes this fee to issue an annual report to the Controller on or before August 31. Existing law requires the Controller to suspend a county's fee for one year if the county fails to submit the report by November 30 and requires the Controller to inform the Department of Motor Vehicles on or before January 1 that a county's authority to collect the fee is suspended. This bill would instead require the Controller to inform the Department of Motor Vehicles on or before February 1 that a county's authority to collect the fee described above is suspended. (2) Existing law requires the Division of Aeronautics within the Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the aviation industry and the electric utility industry and in consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration, to coordinate and disseminate specified information to pilots to increase awareness of wire hazards and to communicate techniques for identifying and avoiding wires. Existing law requires certain electrical corporations and publicly owned electrical utilities to pay a one-time fee, as specified, that is deposited in the Aeronautics Account in the State Transportation Fund and continuously appropriated to the Department of Transportation to disseminate the information described above. This bill would delete the provisions described above. (3) Existing law prohibits any person from constructing or altering any structure or permitting any natural growth to grow at a height that exceeds the obstruction standards set forth in specified federal regulations relating to objects affecting navigable airspace unless a permit allowing the construction, alteration, or growth is issued by the Department of Transportation. Existing law provides that a permit is not required if the Federal Aviation Administration has determined that the construction, alteration, or growth does not constitute a hazard to air navigation or would not create an unsafe condition for air navigation. This bill would recast these provisions to remove the obsolete provision that the department may issue a permit as described above. The bill would retain the requirement that the Federal Aviation Administration makes the determination that the construction, alteration, or growth does not constitute a hazard to air navigation or would not create an unsafe condition for air navigation. (4) Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system. This bill would revise the route description of State Highway Routes 74 and 86 to reflect relinquishments of portions of those routes to local agencies. (5) Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to adopt a program of projects to receive allocations pursuant to the Active Transportation Program. Existing law requires the commission to adopt each program of projects by no later than April 1 of each odd-numbered year, as specified. This bill would instead require the commission to adopt each program of projects by no later than July 1 of each odd-numbered year. (6) This bill would also delete references to obsolete provisions and make other technical and clarifying changes. Because some of these changes may impose a new duty on local officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (7) 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. (8) This bill would provide that any section of any act enacted by the Legislature during the 2018 calendar year that takes effect on or before January 1, 2019, and affects any section of this act, would prevail over this act, whether that act is enacted prior to, or subsequent to, the enactment of this act.
