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 AB 2805 (Olsen) Page 1 of ? 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. -- END --
