legislative counsel’s digest


AB 95, as amended, Brownley Committee on Budget. Public
resources.
(1)  Existing law establishes the Fair and Exposition Fund for the
purpose of allocating moneys to provide financial support for the
network of California fairs. Existing law requires that $32,000,000 be
transferred annually from the General Fund to the credit of a separate
account of the fund. Existing law provides that the revenues in that
separate account are continuously appropriated to the Department of

97
AB 95 —2—

Food and Agriculture for specified purposes. In addition, existing law


requires the deposit of $10,000,000 of the license fees for horse racing
meetings into the fund and continuously appropriates those funds to the
51st District Agricultural Association for specified purposes.
This bill would repeal that annual transfer from the General Fund and
those other provisions and make related changes.
(2)  Existing law requires specified revenues received by the California
Horse Racing Board to be deposited into the State Treasury to the credit
of the Fair and Exposition Fund. Existing law provides that, in addition
to those moneys deposited in the fund, the Legislature shall appropriate,
and the board shall deposit in the fund, sums deemed necessary for the
support of the board, as specified, and to the department for oversight
of the network of California fairs, for contributions to the
Unemployment Fund by the network of fairs, and for auditing of
specified fairs. Any unallocated balance of revenues received by the
board is continuously appropriated for allocation by the Secretary of
Food and Agriculture for capital outlay to California fairs for specified
projects or for general operational support.
This bill would repeal those provisions relating to revenues received
by the board and would instead provide that, from revenue received by
the department, the Legislature shall appropriate to the department sums
deemed necessary for oversight of the network of California fairs and
for auditing of specified fairs.
(3)  Existing law requires the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to
annually project the available revenues from the fund described above,
and to prepare an annual expenditure plan for funds available from the
fund. Existing law also requires the secretary to prepare and submit to
the Department of Finance an estimate of the contributions, or the cost
of benefits in lieu of contributions, payable to the Unemployment Fund
by all California fairs, as specified.
This bill would delete those provisions. The bill would also make
technical changes.
(4)  Existing law authorizes the Department of Toxic Substances
Control to compel a responsible party to take or pay for appropriate
removal or remediation action necessary to protect public health and
safety and the environment at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL)
site in Ventura County. The sale, lease, sublease, or other transfer of
any land presently or formerly occupied by the Santa Susana Field
Laboratory is prohibited unless the Director of Toxic Substances Control

97
—3— AB 95

certifies that the land has undergone complete remediation pursuant to


specified protective standards.
This bill would provide that an administrative order on consent for
the site, signed on December 6, 2010, between the department and the
United States Department of Energy and a similar order between the
department and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
constitute the cleanup requirements and obligations for that portion of
the site that is subject to those administrative orders and would require
the administrative orders to result in the cleanup of the soil so that the
level of radiological or chemical contaminants in the soil does not
exceed local background levels, except as specified. The bill would
require the department to enforce the administrative orders and the
transfer prohibitions imposed on that site.
(5)  
(4)  Under existing law, the Department of Parks and Recreation has
control of the state park system. The existing Tort Claims Act provides
for the liability and immunity of a governmental entity for its acts or
omissions that cause harm to persons.
This bill would require the Department of Parks and Recreation to
achieve any required budget reductions by closing, partially closing,
and reducing services at selected units of the state park system and
would require the department to select the units to be closed based
solely on specified factors.
The bill would provide immunity to a public entity and a public
employee for injury or damage either caused by a condition of public
property in or otherwise occurring at a state park system unit that is
designated as closed, partially closed, or subject to service reduction
by the department pursuant to these provisions.
(6)  
(5)  Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has
regulatory authority over public utilities, as defined. Existing law
requires the commission, by January 10 of each year, to report to the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee and appropriate fiscal and policy
committees of the Legislature, on all sources and amounts of funding
and actual and proposed expenditures related to specified entities or
programs established by the commission. Existing law requires the
commission to adopt an updated Conflict of Interest Code and Statement
of Incompatible Activities.
This bill would require that the commission, by January 10 of each
year, report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and appropriate

97
AB 95 —4—

fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature, on all sources and


amounts of funding and actual and proposed expenditures related to
interactions by the commission, its officers, or its staff with the
California Public Utilities Commission Foundation. The bill would
require that within 8 weeks of any contribution to the foundation made
at the behest of a member of the commission, its officers, or its staff,
that the commission report the contribution to the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee and appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the
Legislature and include a certification that the contribution does not
violate the Conflict of Interest Code and Statement of Incompatible
Activities.
(7)  
(6)  Existing law requires certain moneys on the first day of every
month to be transferred from the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account to the
Off-Highway Vehicle Trust Fund that are attributable to taxes imposed
upon distribution of motor vehicle fuel related to specified off-highway
motor vehicles and off-highway vehicle activities. The moneys in the
fund are required to be used, upon appropriation, for specified purposes
related to off-highway motor vehicle recreation.
This bill would require the Controller to withhold $833,000 from this
monthly transfer, and transfer that amount to the General Fund.
(8)  
(7)  The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, with certain
exceptions, requires a waste discharger to pay an annual fee established
by the State Water Resources Control Board. The act requires the total
amount of fees collected to equal that amount necessary to recover
certain costs relating to the administration of waste discharge
requirements. Revenues generated by the imposition of the fee are
deposited in the Waste Discharge Permit Fund for expenditure, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, for specified water quality purposes.
This bill, for the purpose of calculating the annual fee, would authorize
recoverable costs to also include costs incurred by the State Water
Resources Control Board and the California regional water quality
control boards in the adoption, review, and revision of water quality
control plans and state policies for water quality control.
(9)  
(8)  The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009
establishes the Delta Stewardship Council, which is required to develop,
adopt, and commence implementation of a comprehensive management
plan for the Delta (Delta Plan) by January 1, 2012. The act provides

97
—5— AB 95

that the council is the successor to the California Bay-Delta Authority,


which previously was required to carry out programs, projects, and
activities to implement the CALFED Bay-Delta Program with other
implementing agencies.
Existing law requires the Governor, on or before April 1, 2011, to
submit to the Legislature a report on the budget for the 2011–12 fiscal
year for all state agency programs that implement water and ecosystem
restoration activities in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta using a
zero-based budget methodology, as defined. Existing law requires that
budget to complement the budget for the CALFED Bay-Delta Program,
and requires all state expenditures reported in the budget for the
CALFED Bay-Delta Program for the 2011–12 fiscal year to be reported
using a zero-based budget methodology.
This bill would require the Governor to submit the report on the
budget using zero-based budget methodology for the 2012–13 fiscal
year, instead of the 2011–12 fiscal year, and would require that report
to be submitted to the Legislature by April 1, 2012, instead of April 1,
2011. The bill would additionally require the council, in developing a
zero-based budget for these purposes, to conduct a programmatic review
of CALFED Bay-Delta Program expenditures for consistency with the
Delta Plan.
(10)  
(9)  The bill would appropriate $1,000 from the General Fund to the
Department of Parks and Recreation for administrative costs.
(11)  
(10)  The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare
a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for
that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation declaring
a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on
December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on January
20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency exists and
stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier proclamation for
purposes of that constitutional provision.
This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared
and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 20,
2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
(12)  
(11)  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a
bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
(13)  

97
AB 95 —6—

(12)  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as


an urgency statute.
Vote: 2⁄3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

1 SECTION 1. Section 19606.1 of the Business and Professions

4 deposited in the Fair and Exposition Fund shall be deposited in a
5 separate account in the fund and, notwithstanding Section 13340
6 of the Government Code, are continuously appropriated from that
7 account to the Department of Food and Agriculture, for allocation
8 by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, at his or her discretion,
9 for the purposes set forth in paragraphs (1) to (6), inclusive. The
10 concurrence of the Director of Finance shall be required for
11 allocations pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2). Allocations pursuant
12 to paragraphs (3) to (6), inclusive, shall be made with the
13 concurrence of the Joint Committee on Fairs Allocation and

19 repayment of any advances made or security required by any
20 provider of credit enhancement or liquidity for those bonds or
21 other indebtedness or expenses of maintaining that credit
22 enhancement or liquidity, incurred for the purpose of constructing
23 or acquiring improvements at a fair’s racetrack inclosure, satellite
24 wagering facilities at fairs, health and safety repair projects, or
25 handicapped access compliance projects at fairs or for the purpose
26 of refunding bonds or other indebtedness incurred for those
27 purposes. As used in this paragraph, “coverage factor” means
28 revenues in excess of the amount necessary to pay debt service on
29 the bonds or other indebtedness, up to an amount equal to 100
30 percent more than the amount of that debt service, which a joint
31 powers agency, pursuant to the resolution or indenture under which
32 the bonds or other indebtedness are or will be issued, pledges as
33 additional security for the payment of that debt service or is

97

6 priority described in this paragraph.
7 (2)  For payment to the State Race Track Leasing Commission
8 to be pledged for the repayment of debt necessary to construct a

13 been determined by the secretary to be inadequate for that purpose.
14 (3)  For the payment of expenses incurred in establishing and

30 pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) have been funded.
31 (c)  Pursuant to subdivision (a), the Joint Committee on Fairs
32 Allocation and Classification shall review and concur, or not

29 to conduct live racing meetings within the northern zone during
30 the same calendar period, signals of both racing programs shall be
31 accepted at each live racing meeting within the northern zone and
32 at all satellite wagering facilities eligible to receive these programs.
33 (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in order to
34 ensure that fairs which previously had an exclusive right to send

36 during periods of overlap do not lose commission revenues from
37 satellite wagering, each fair that conducts its meeting during the

2 units to be closed based solely on all of the following factors:
3 (1)  The relative statewide significance of each park unit,
4 preserving to the extent possible, parks identified in the
5 department’s documents including “Outstanding and
6 Representative Parks,” the “California State History Plan,” and
7 the “California State Parks Survey of 1928.”
8 (2)  The rate of visitation to each unit, to minimize impacts to
9 visitation in the state park system.
10 (3)  (A)  The estimated net savings from closing each unit, to
11 maximize savings to the state park system.
12 (B)  For purposes of this subdivision, “net savings” means the
13 estimated costs of operation for the unit less the unit’s projected
14 revenues and less the costs of maintaining the unit after it is closed.
15 (4)  The feasibility of physically closing each unit.
16 (5)  The existence of, or potential for, partnerships that can help
17 support each unit, including concessions and both for-profit and
18 nonprofit partners.
19 (6)  Significant operational efficiencies to be gained from closing
20 a unit based on its proximity to other closed units where the units
21 typically share staff and other operating resources.
22 (7)  Significant and costly infrastructure deficiencies affecting
23 key systems at each unit so that continued operation of the unit is
24 less cost effective relative to other units.
25 (8)  Recent or funded infrastructure investments at a unit.
26 (9)  Necessary but unfunded capital investments at a unit.
27 (10)  Deed restrictions and grant requirements applicable to each

36 occurring in, or arising out of an activity in, a state park system
37 unit that is designated as closed, partially closed, or subject to
38 service reduction by the department pursuant to subdivision (a).
39 This immunity shall apply notwithstanding the fact that the public

33 paragraph, “contribution” means any payment, a forgiveness of a
34 loan, a payment of a loan by a third party, or an enforceable
35 promise to make a payment, except to the extent that full and
36 adequate consideration is received.
37 (b)  (1)  Within eight weeks of any contribution to the foundation
38 made at the behest of a member of the commission, its officers,

8 SEC. 27. Section 8352.6 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is
9 amended to read:
10 8352.6. (a)  (1)  Subject to Section 8352.1, on the first day of
11 every month, there shall be transferred from moneys deposited to
12 the credit of the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account to the Off-Highway
13 Vehicle Trust Fund created by Section 38225 of the Vehicle Code
14 an amount attributable to taxes imposed upon distributions of motor
15 vehicle fuel used in the operation of motor vehicles off highway
16 and for which a refund has not been claimed. Transfers made
17 pursuant to this section shall be made prior to transfers pursuant
18 to Section 8352.2.
19 (2)  The Controller shall withhold eight hundred thirty-three
20 thousand dollars ($833,000) from this monthly transfer, and transfer
21 that amount to the General Fund.
22 (b)  The amount transferred pursuant to paragraph (1) of
23 subdivision (a), as a percentage of the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account,
24 shall be equal to the percentage transferred in the 2006–07 fiscal
25 year. Every five years, starting in the 2013–14 fiscal year, the
26 percentage transferred may be adjusted by the Department of
27 Transportation in cooperation with the Department of Parks and
28 Recreation and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Adjustments
29 shall be based on, but not limited to, the changes in the following
30 factors since the 2006–07 fiscal year or the last adjustment,
31 whichever is more recent:
32 (1)  The number of vehicles registered as off-highway motor
33 vehicles as required by Division 16.5 (commencing with Section
34 38000) of the Vehicle Code.
35 (2)  The number of registered street-legal vehicles that are
36 anticipated to be used off highway, including four-wheel drive
37 vehicles, all-wheel drive vehicles, and dual-sport motorcycles.

2 Management Information System.
3 (c)  It is the intent of the Legislature that transfers from the Motor
4 Vehicle Fuel Account to the Off-Highway Vehicle Trust Fund
5 should reflect the full range of motorized vehicle use off highway
6 for both motorized recreation and motorized off-road access to
7 other recreation opportunities. Therefore, the Legislature finds that
8 the fuel tax baseline established in subdivision (b), attributable to
9 off-highway estimates of use as of the 2006–07 fiscal year,
10 accounts for the three categories of vehicles that have been found
11 over the years to be users of fuel for off-highway motorized
12 recreation or motorized access to nonmotorized recreational
13 pursuits. These three categories are registered off-highway
14 motorized vehicles, registered street-legal motorized vehicles used
15 off highway, and unregistered off-highway motorized vehicles.
16 (d)  It is the intent of the Legislature that the off-highway motor
17 vehicle recreational use to be determined by the Department of
18 Transportation pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) be that
19 usage by vehicles subject to registration under Division 3
20 (commencing with Section 4000) of the Vehicle Code, for
21 recreation or the pursuit of recreation on surfaces where the use
22 of vehicles registered under Division 16.5 (commencing with
23 Section 38000) of the Vehicle Code may occur.

18 and groundwater monitoring and modeling, analyzing laboratory
19 samples, adopting, reviewing, and revising water quality control
20 plans and state policies for water quality control, and reviewing
21 documents prepared for the purpose of regulating the discharge of
22 waste, and administrative costs incurred in connection with
23 carrying out these actions.
24 (D)  In establishing the amount of a fee that may be imposed on
25 a confined animal feeding and holding operation pursuant to this
26 section, including, but not limited to, a dairy farm, the state board
27 shall consider all of the following factors:
28 (i)  The size of the operation.
29 (ii)  Whether the operation has been issued a permit to operate
30 pursuant to Section 1342 of Title 33 of the United States Code.

6 amount equal to the revenue levels set forth in the Budget Act for
7 this activity. The state board shall automatically adjust the annual

9 in the Budget Act for this activity. If the state board determines
10 that the revenue collected during the preceding year was greater
11 than, or less than, the revenue levels set forth in the Budget Act,
12 the state board may further adjust the annual fees to compensate
13 for the over and under collection of revenue.
