Existing law, until January 1, 2023, establishes a structural fumigation enforcement program that requires the Director of the Department of Pesticide Regulation to provide oversight for the program. Under that program, existing law requires any company performing a structural fumigation in specified counties, including the County of Los Angeles, to pay the county agricultural commissioner a prescribed fee for each fumigation conducted at a specific location. Existing law authorizes the commissioners of those counties to perform increased structural fumigation, inspection, and enforcement activities to be funded by the required fee, and requires these funds to be paid to the county and used for the sole purpose of funding enforcement and training activities directly related to the structural fumigation
program.
This bill would extend the operation of these provisions to January 1, 2024.
Existing law establishes, in the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, a Department of Consumer Affairs that is comprised of certain boards. Existing law requires board members to take an oath of office.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
