The Subdivision Map Act authorizes a local agency to adopt an ordinance that includes a requirement for the payment of fees for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing planned drainage facilities for the removal of surface and storm waters from local or neighborhood drainage areas and of constructing planned sanitary sewer facilities for local sanitary sewer areas if, among other specified conditions, the ordinance has been in effect for a period of at least 30 days prior to the filing of a tentative map or parcel map if no tentative map is required. This bill would extend the period of time the ordinance is required to be in effect to 60 days prior to the filing of a tentative map or parcel map if no tentative map is required..

Existing law requires that certain fees, including, among others, the hazardous waste disposal fees and hazardous waste facility and generator fees, be administered and collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in accordance with the Hazardous Substances Tax Law. Existing law requires a feepayer, within 30 days of the date of assessment, to deliver a remittance of the amount of those assessed fees to the office of the department. This bill would require a feepayer to deliver that remittance to the office of the department within 45 days, instead of 30 days, of the date of assessment.
The Personal Income Tax Law allows various deductions in computing the income that is subject to the taxes imposed by that law including, in conformity with federal tax law, a deduction for personal property taxes such as the vehicle license fee. Existing law imposes a transportation improvement fee under the Vehicle License Fee Law with a fee between $25 and $175 based on vehicle value and with an inflation adjustment, as provided. This bill would state that to the extent the transportation improvement fee is a personal property tax for federal income tax purposes, it is allowed as a deduction in computing the income subject to taxes pursuant to the Personal Income Tax Law.
Existing law creates state and local public pension and retirement systems that provide pension benefits based on age at retirement, service credit, and final compensation. Existing law requires each state and local public pension or retirement system, on and after the 90th day following the completion of the annual audit of the system, to provide a concise annual report on the investments and earnings of the system, as specified, to any member who makes a request and pays a fee, if required, for the costs incurred in preparation and dissemination of that report. This bill would also require each state and local pension or retirement system to post a concise annual audit of the information described above on that system's Internet Web site no later than the 90th day following the audit's completion. By imposing new duties on local retirement systems, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
This measure would designate February 21, 2018, and the 3rd Wednesday in February of each year thereafter, as California Ports Day.

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various professions and vocations by boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires the Department of Consumer Affairs and each board in the department to charge a $2 fee for the certification of a record, document, or paper in its custody or for the certification of a document evidencing the content of that record, document, or paper, except as otherwise provided by law. This bill would instead authorize the department and boards to charge a fee of not more than $2 for these certifications, except as otherwise provided by law. Existing law requires that the delinquency, penalty, or late fee for any licensee within the department be 50% of the renewal fee for that license that is in effect on the date of the renewal of the license, but not less than $25 nor more than $150, except as otherwise provided by law. This bill would delete the requirement that the fee not be less than $25 and would make other nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
This measure would express the Legislature's support for reinvesting revenues and cost savings from the closure and sale, lease, or repurposing of developmental centers into the community of persons with developmental disabilities, including through creation of a self-sustaining income mechanism to support persons with developmental disabilities and the establishment of a working group to examine the potential sale, lease, or repurposing of developmental center properties. The measure would express the Legislature's intent that all savings from the developmental centers should be allocated for the support of persons with developmental disabilities, as specified.
