BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Hill
FEBRUARY 16, 2010
An act to amend Section 602.4 of the Penal Code, relating to
malicious mischief.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1885, as introduced, Hill. Malicious mischief: airport
property: transportation services.
Existing law provides that every person who enters or remains on
airport property owned by a city, county, or city and county but
located in another county, and sells, peddles, or offers for sale any
goods, merchandise, property, or services of any kind whatsoever, to
members of the public, including transportation services, other than
charter limousines licensed by the Public Utilities Commission, on
or from the airport property, without the express written consent of
the governing board of the airport property, or its duly authorized
representative, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
This bill would remove the exception in the offense for charter
limousines licensed by the Public Utilities Commission.
By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would
impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 602.4 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
602.4. Every person who enters or remains on airport property
owned by a city, county, or city and county but located in another
county, and sells, peddles, or offers for sale any goods,
merchandise, property, or services of any kind whatsoever, to members
of the public, including transportation services, other
than charter limousines licensed by the Public Utilities Commission,
on or from the airport property, without the express
written consent of the governing board of the airport property, or
its duly authorized representative, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Nothing in this section affects the power of a county, city, or
city and county to regulate the sale, peddling or offering for sale
of goods, merchandise, property, or services.
SEC. 2. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
