          Bill Summary: SB 822 would (1) appropriate $5 million from the  
          General Fund to the Citrus Disease Management Account within the  
          California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to combat  
          citrus disease or its vectors, and (2) increase the maximum  
          citrus industry assessment fee from $0.09 to $0.12 per 40-pound  
          carton.


          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                      adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016




          Fiscal  
          Impact: The bill would increase citrus industry assessed fee  
          authority by $0.03 per carton, from $0.09 to $0.12. If the fee  
          were raised to the maximum level, revenues would increase by  
          roughly $5 million annually (special fund).
