	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 980, as introduced, Hollingsworth. Off-highway motor vehicle
recreation: fees.
   Existing law generally requires a service fee of $7 for the
issuance or renewal of identification of off-highway motor vehicles
subject to identification. In addition, existing law imposes a
special fee of $33 that is required to be paid at the time of payment
of the service fee and that is to be deposited in the Off-Highway
Vehicle Trust Fund. Existing law provides that these provisions shall
remain in effect until January 1, 2018, and as of that date are
repealed.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this
law.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
