AB 1768

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law, in addition to the other fees imposed for the registration of a vehicle, authorizes a county to impose upon adoption of a resolution of its board of supervisors, an additional fee of $1 on all motor vehicles, and continuously appropriates the money to fund local programs relating to vehicle theft crimes. These provisions are repealed as of January 1, 2018. Existing law requires each participating county to issue a fiscal yearend report to the Controller, summarizing certain matters. This bill would authorize a county to impose an additional $3 fee for that purpose and would require, if the county is increasing the amount of the fee from $1 to $3, the resolution that imposes the fee to be submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles at least 6 months prior to the operative date of the fee increase. This bill would add a new source of revenue to be deposited into a continuously appropriated fund, thereby making an appropriation. The bill would revise the information the fiscal yearend report is required to contain and would make technical and conforming changes.
