          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill  
          Summary:  AB 2805 would require the California Highway Patrol  
          (CHP) to coordinate the California Agriculture Cargo Theft  
          Prevention Working Group, as specified, to address issues  
          including agriculture cargo theft prevention, problem solving,  
          and theft control techniques.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
            CHP  :  Minor and absorbable ongoing costs (Special Fund*) to  
            coordinate the activities of the working group. The CHP  
            currently operates the Cargo Theft Interdiction Program  
            (CTIP), which was created to provide statewide ongoing cargo

            theft suppression efforts.

            Working group activities  :  Major future cost pressure (Special  
            Fund*/General Fund/Federal Funds) to support the authorized  
            activities of the working group, including but not limited to  
            the development of agriculture cargo theft prevention  
            programs, as well as outreach, training, and potential  
            upgrades to the existing CTIP statewide computerized  
            information system to enable uniform statewide data reporting  
            by participating counties. 

          *Motor Carriers Safety Improvement (MCSI) Fund - Staff notes the  
          MCSI Fund is structurally imbalanced and facing insolvency in FY  
          2017-18 with a projected reserve balance of $159,000 at year-end  
          FY 2016-17. In the absence of changes to the level of current  
          operating expenditures or an increase to the CTIP program fee  
          imposed on vehicles subject to weight fees, funding from another  
          source, potentially the General Fund or federal grant funds, may  
          be required to support the activities authorized by this bill.


          Committee Amendments:   
          Place the legislative findings and declarations in an uncodified  
          section of the bill.
