Under existing law, the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries collects permit fees, inspection fees, and fees for penalties, if any, from persons who sell, offer for sale, store, or use petroleum products. The proceeds of these fees are paid into the State Treasury and distributed by the State Treasurer. An amount equal to five percent or not less than $175,000 per month, whichever is greater, of the proceeds is required to be deposited into the Agricultural Fund for the operation of the Department of Agriculture and Industries. The remaining balance is distributed to counties, municipalities, and the Department of Transportation for the construction, reconstruction, or improvement of certain roads and bridges.
This bill would require that 10 percent of the proceeds received each month be deposited in the Agricultural Fund.
