	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2094, Aroner.  Parks and Recreation:  California SNO-PARKS:
permits.
   Existing law establishes the California SNO-PARK permit program,
whereby winter recreationists purchase a windshield sticker issued by
the Department of Parks and Recreation that permits them to park in
any of the roadside parking areas to be established and plowed for
that purpose.  Existing law requires the department to print the
permits and to supervise the sale of the permits throughout the
state.  The department is required to either distribute and sell the
permits directly or to contract with vendors to sell the permits.
   This bill would prescribe the procedural details of permit
distribution and vendor reimbursement in situations where the
department elects to contract with a vendor to sell the permits.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 5091.20 of the Public Resources Code is amended
to read:
   5091.20.  (a) The department shall print the permits required by
this chapter and shall supervise the sale of the permits throughout
the state.
   (b) The department shall either distribute and sell the permits
directly or contract with vendors according to rules and regulations
adopted by the department.  The authorized vendors shall be bonded in
accordance with the rules and regulations and shall receive a
stipulated commission for each permit sold.
   (c) In situations where the department elects to contract with a
vendor pursuant to subdivision (b), the department shall provide the
permits to the vendor at no cost. The vendor may deduct his or her
commission from the proceeds acquired from permit sales prior to
remitting those proceeds to the department.
