LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1995, as amended, Gaines. Licenses: Automated License Data
System.
Existing law generally prohibits a person from obtaining more than
one license, permit, reservation, or other entitlement of the same
class, or more than the number of tags authorized by statute or
regulation for the same license year, but provides for multiple
entitlements under specified circumstances, including a replacement
in case of the loss or destruction of an unexpired entitlement as
certified by the applicant's signed affidavit and proof, as
determined by the department, that the original license, tag, permit,
reservation, or other entitlement was issued, and payment of a base
fee of $5, adjusted annually pursuant to a specified index.
This bill would exempt entitlements issued through the Automated
License Data System from those provisions, and, instead, for those
entitlements, would generally prohibit a person from obtaining more
than one entitlement of the same class, or more than the number of
tags authorized by statute or regulation for the same license year,
but would provide for multiple entitlements under specified
circumstances, including the replacement of the entitlements in case
of the loss or destruction of an unexpired entitlement as certified
by the applicant's signed affidavit and proof, as determined by the
department, that the original entitlement was issued, and payment of
a $5 base fee of $9 , or in case of the
loss or destruction of a stamp or endorsement imprinted on a base
license and payment of a base fee of $3 for each stamp or endorsement
replaced on any base license document. Those fees would be adjusted
annually pursuant to the specified index , based on license
years established in the bill, not to exceed the fee for
the origi nal entitlement .
