Summary

(1) Existing law requires the sealer of a county to inspect and test weighing and measuring devices, as specified, that are used or sold in the county. Existing law also requires the sealer of a county to weigh or measure packages to determine whether they contain the amount represented, as provided. Existing law, until January 1, 2022, authorizes the board of supervisors of a county, by ordinance, to charge an annual registration fee, not to exceed the county's total cost of actually inspecting or testing weighing and measuring devices required of the county sealer, to recover the costs of the county sealer to perform these duties. Existing law, until January 1, 2022, requires the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to establish by regulation an annual administrative fee to recover reasonable administrative and enforcement costs incurred by the Department of Food and Agriculture for exercising supervision over and performing investigations in connection with the activities performed by county sealers described above and for other specified duties, and requires the administrative fee to be collected for every device registered with each county office of weights and measures and paid annually to the Department of Food and Agriculture Fund. This bill would extend the authority of the board of supervisors of a county to charge an annual registration fee to recover the costs of the county sealer, as provided, until January 1, 2027, and would extend certain other related provisions. The bill would also continue the annual administrative fee to recover the costs incurred by the department described above until January 1, 2027. (2) Existing law requires a person who engages in the business of repairing commercial weighing and measuring devices to be registered as a service agency by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture. Before the issuance of its registration or in order to maintain its current registration, existing law requires a service agency to possess, or have available for use, standards and testing equipment necessary to meet specified minimum testing requirements for each type of device for which the service agency is providing service. When applicable, existing law requires those standards and testing equipment to meet the specifications and tolerances published in the most current National Institute of Standards and Technology 105 Series Handbooks for Field Standard Weights (NIST Class F) , Field Standard Measuring Flasks, and Graduated Neck Type Volumetric Field Standards. This bill would update the reference to the National Institute of Standards and Technology 105 Series Handbooks and would make another related change. (3) Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) , grants a consumer, as defined, various rights with regard to personal information relating to that consumer that is held by a business, as defined, including the right to request that a business that collects personal information about the consumer disclose the categories of personal information it has collected about that consumer. The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) , approved by the voters as Proposition 24 at the November 3, 2020, statewide general election, amended, added to, and reenacted the CCPA, and established the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) , which is vested with full administrative power, authority, and jurisdiction to implement and enforce the CCPA. Existing law requires the CPPA to exercise its authority to adopt regulations beginning the later of July 1, 2021, or six months after the agency provides notice to the Attorney General that it is prepared to begin rulemaking under the CCPA and CPRA. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to provisions added or affected by the CPRA. The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 authorizes the Legislature to amend the act to further the purposes and intent of the act by a majority vote of both houses of the Legislature, as specified. This bill would declare that its provisions further the purposes and intent of the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 1798.145 of the Civil Code proposed by AB 335 to be operative only if this bill and AB 335 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
