DATE'. December 31, 1986 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 166 (Hauser)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 166 by Assemblyman Hauser
relating to reestablishing the Abandoned Vehicle Trust Fund.
BACKGROUND:
One of the Board' s high-priority legislative items for the 1987
Session is to deal on several fronts with the issue of abandoned
vehicles. One element of the problem is that the California
Highway Patrol has not had funds available to either tow
abandoned vehicles from public property, or to assist local
jurisdictions financially in towing and disposing of such
vehicles.
Assemblyman Dan Hauser of Santa Rosa has introduced AB 166 . This
bill reinstates the Abandoned Vehicle Trust Fund; authorizes the
CHP to disburse the funds to cities or counties which establish
specified abandoned vehicle programs; authorizes the CHP to
directly provide for the removal of abandoned vehicles by
franchise or contract, and transfers $15 million from the Motor
Vehicle Account in the State Transportation Fund to the Abandoned
Vechicle Trust Fund.
In view of the Board' s high degree of concern about abandoned
vehicle programs, it is recommended that the Board support AB
166.
