An act to amend Sections 15004, 15101, 15103, 15104, and 15105 of the Fish and Game Code, relating to aquaculture.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1392, as amended, McGuire. Fish and wildlife: steelhead trout: fishing report-restoration card. Aquaculture: registration, renewal, surcharge, and penalty fees: reports.Existing law requires the owner of an aquaculture facility to register certain information with the Department of Fish and Wildlife by March 1 of each year, and requires the department to impose prescribed fees for registration and renewal. Existing law also requires, in addition to the registration and renewal fees, a surcharge fee to be paid at the time of registration by the owner of an aquaculture facility if the gross annual sales of aquaculture products of the facility during the prior calendar year exceed $25,000. Existing law imposes a penalty for delinquent payment of fees. Existing law, until January 1, 2023, increases those registration, renewal, surcharge, and penalty fees, as prescribed. Existing law requires the department to prepare and submit to the Legislature, on or before February 1, 2022, a report regarding the aquaculture program. Existing law requires the department, at least once every 5 years, to analyze the fees and taxes authorized for the aquaculture program to ensure that the amount of the appropriate fee or tax is sufficient to fully fund the program.This bill would extend the increased registration, renewal, surcharge, and penalty fees until January 1, 2024. The bill would require the department to prepare and submit to the Legislature a report regarding the aquaculture program every 5 years and, as part of those reports, would require the department conduct the above-described analysis of the fees and taxes authorized for the aquaculture program.Existing law, until July 1, 2022, requires a person taking steelhead trout in inland waters to possess a steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card, issued by the Department of Fish and Wildlife for a specified fee, on which the person is required to record certain information for the department when catching steelhead trout. Upon appropriation by the Legislature, moneys from the fees are required to be expended only to monitor, restore, or enhance steelhead trout resources and to administer the fishing report-restoration card program. Existing law requires the department to report to the Legislature on or before July 1, 2021, regarding the steelhead trout projects undertaken using these revenues, the benefits derived, and its recommendations for revising the fishing report-restoration card requirement, if any.This bill would extend the operation of this report-restoration card program until January 1, 2025. The bill would require the department to report to the Legislature regarding those same steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card program issues again on or before January 1, 2024.Because this bill would extend the operation of the fishing report-restoration card requirements, the violation of which would be a crime, it 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.This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.Digest Key Vote: TWO_THIRDSMAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YESNO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
