*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 1858 would require the Department of Motor Vehicles
(DMV) to collaborate with specified state entities until January
1, 2020 to review and coordinate enforcement and compliance
activity related to unlicensed and unregulated automobile
dismantling activities. The bill would require a report to the
Legislature on those activities and any recommendations by
January 1, 2019.
Fiscal
Impact:
DMV costs of $475,000 in 2017-18, $390,000 in 2018-19, and
$195,000 in 2019-20, and 3 PY of investigator staff to prepare

and execute cases and collaborate with other specified
departments. First year costs include costs for investigator
staff training and equipment. (Motor Vehicle Account).
Potential staffing costs for the Board of Equalization (BOE),
the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), the
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), and the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) to provide enforcement and resources
for the investigation and reporting of illegal auto
dismantling activities. Depending on current enforcement
levels, this bill could impose costs ranging from absorbable
up to $150,000 annually per affected state entity until 2020.
For instance, BOE, CalEPA, and SWRCB all indicate absorbable
costs, while CARB estimates the need for an additional PY of
staff at a cost of $154,000.
Author
Amendments:
Strike out the word "underground" from several provisions that
currently specify actions related to "unlicensed, unregulated,
and underground automobile dismantling."
Strike out a provision that require the collaborating state
entities to provide enforcement and necessary resources to DMV
for the investigation and reporting of unregulated activities.
Strike out a provision that requires the establishment of a
public outreach effort for soliciting referrals from the
public.
Make a technical change.
