SB 348, Simitian. Local government: vehicle fee for congestion and stormwater management.
Existing law provides for the imposition by air districts and other local agencies of fees on the registration of motor vehicles in certain areas of the state that are in addition to the basic vehicle registration fee collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law authorizes the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County to impose a fee of up to $4, until January 1, 2009, on motor vehicles registered within San Mateo County for a program for the management of traffic congestion and stormwater pollution within that county.
This bill would provide that the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County may reauthorize that fee for a period of 4 years until January 1, 2013, as specified.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

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


SECTION 1.

 Section 65089.11 of the Government Code is amended to read:

65089.11.
 (a) The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County, which has been formed by the resolutions of the board of supervisors within San Mateo County and a majority of the city councils within the county that represent a majority of the population in the incorporated area of San Mateo County, may impose a fee of up to four dollars ($4) on motor vehicles registered within San Mateo County. The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County may impose the fee only if the board of the association adopts a resolution providing for both the fee and a corresponding program for the management of traffic congestion and stormwater pollution within San Mateo County as set forth in Sections 65089.12 to 65089.15, inclusive. Adoption by the board requires a vote of approval by board members representing two-thirds of the population of San Mateo County.
(b) A fee imposed pursuant to this section shall not become operative until July 1, 2005, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the board in subdivision (a).
(c) The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County may reauthorize the fee established under subdivision (a) pursuant to the same conditions required in that subdivision for a period of four years and the fee shall terminate on January 1, 2013, unless reauthorized by the Legislature.
