State government.

(1) Existing law authorizes airports to require rental car companies to collect a customer facility charge or an alternative customer facility charge under specified circumstances for purposes that include financing, designing, and constructing airport vehicle rental facilities and common-use transportation systems. The law requires that the aggregate amount to be collected not exceed the reasonable costs, as determined by an independent audit paid for by the airport, to finance, design, and construct those facilities. Existing law requires additional audits with respect to an alternative customer facility charge when the airport increases that charge and requires an audit every 3 years where the revenues from that alternative charge are used for certain purposes. Existing law requires copies of these audits, as well as certain annual information as to an alternative charge, to be provided to specified legislative committees and posted on the airport's internet website. This bill would remove the reporting requirement with respect to the legislative committees. This bill would eliminate the requirement that the 3-year audits and the annual information with respect to an alternative charge be provided to specified legislative committees. (2) Existing law requires a health studio, as defined, to provide annually a report containing specified elements regarding staffing and incidents to the Assembly and Senate Committees on Judiciary. This bill would eliminate that reporting requirement. (3) Existing law requires a local public agency that operates a skateboard park to collect copies of the records of claims and lawsuits regarding that skateboard park and file them annually with the Assembly and Senate Committees on Judiciary. This bill would eliminate that reporting requirement. (4) Existing law requires the Judicial Council to make an annual report to the Department of Finance and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee regarding, among other specified items, the total amount of revenue collected in the prior fiscal year by each court and county from criminal fines and fees related to infractions and misdemeanors. This bill would require the Judicial Council to also make that annual report to the Legislature and to additionally include in that report the amount of forfeitures, penalties, restitution fines described in a particular provision of the Penal Code, and assessments collected with respect to infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies, as well as information related to the performance of collection programs and methods to improve that performance. Existing law also requires the Judicial Council to develop performance measures and benchmarks to review the effectiveness of the cooperative superior court and county collection programs with respect to the collection of court-ordered fees, fines, forfeitures, penalties, restitution, and assessments and requires the Judicial Council to make a report to the Legislature regarding the effectiveness of those programs, as specified. This bill would require the Judicial Council to also make the report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the Department of Finance and to include in that report the same information as is included in the report regarding collections with respect to infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. This bill would also make nonsubstantive changes.
