Senate BillNo. 482


Introduced by Senator Hill

February 21, 2013


An act to repeal Section 13357 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to point-of-sale systems.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 482, as introduced, Hill. Point-of-sale systems.

Existing law provides the criteria and methodology, as specified, by which local officials are to measure and verify the accuracy of a point-of-sale system used by retail establishments as a means for determining the price of an item being purchased by a consumer. Existing law repeals those provisions on January 1, 2014.

This bill would delete the repeal provision, thereby extending the operation of those provisions indefinitely. By directing local officials to follow a specified standard of inspection, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

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

P1    1

SECTION 1.

917556 of the Government Code.
