	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   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.


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.
