Legislation: Assembly Bill 4652 (Elder) I
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION .
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 4652 by Assemblyman Elder
which would authorize the California Highway Patrol to enter into
an agreement with the County to intensify the enforcement of
vehicle registration laws in the County. This bill is a part of
the Board' s 1988 Legislative Program and the County is,
therefore, the sponsor of the measure.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors has been concerned for some time about
the number of out-of-state vehicles in the County which belong to
.persons who are either employed here or are residing here and
should, therefore, have their vehicles registered in California .
As long as these vehicles remain registered out-of-state the
state, county, and cities lose revenue ' from the vehicle
registration and in-lieu tax. In addition, these vehicles may
not meet emission control standards . for California and may,
therefore, be polluting the environment.
The Contra Costa County office of the CHP has one full-time
officer assigned to determining whether the owners of
out-of-state vehicles should have their vehicles registered in
California. The CHP has shown this to be a cost-effective
assignment. However, . this one officer cannot keep up with the
reported out-of-state- vehicles and expired California
registrations.
The Board has proposed, therefore, that the, County and the CHP
enter into a contract , whereby the CHP adds one additional
full-time officer to handle nothing but out-of-state vehicle
registration checks and expired California registrations. The
County would pay the CHP for the .full cost of this additional
officer and would, in, turn, be reimbursed from the additional
vehicle registration fees and fines which are imposed as. a result
of the work of this additional officer.
