SB 1270, as introduced, Galgiani. Diseased animals and poultry: regulation: fee schedule.
Existing law governs the reporting, transportation, handling, and disposal, as specified, of animals that are infected with a contagious disease. Existing law provides for the quarantine or destruction of diseased animals, and the vaccination of certain animals. Existing law requires the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to license biologic establishments which are engaged in the production of products used to diagnose and detect, or prevent or treat, disease in animals other than human beings, if those establishments meet certain requirements. Existing law authorizes, until January 1, 2017, the Department of Food and Agriculture to establish, by regulation, a fee schedule not to exceed the reasonable costs associated with carrying out these provisions, up to a maximum fee of $500 for each license, permit, registration, product, or service, as specified.
This bill would extend the operative date of the fee schedule to January 1, 2022.
Existing law authorizes the secretary to make any necessary investigations relative to reported violations of the above-described provisions.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that authorization.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
