	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1323, Lieu. Specialized license plates: Pet Lover's License
Plate Program.
   Existing law establishes a specialized license plate program and
requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue specialized
license plates to a sponsoring state agency that meets certain
requirements. Existing law requires the DMV to charge specified
additional fees for the issuance, renewal, or transfer of specialized
license plates, and requires that these additional fees, less the
DMV's administrative costs, be deposited in the Specialized License
Plate Fund for appropriation and allocation to each sponsoring state
agency, as specified.
   This bill would appropriate the moneys in the Specialized License
Plate Fund derived from the issuance, renewal, transfer, and
substitution of a specialized license plate issued under the Pet
Lover's License Plate Program sponsored by the Veterinary Medical
Board prior to the operative date of the bill to the Veterinary
Medical Board for the sole and exclusive purpose of funding grants to
providers of no-cost or low-cost animal sterilization services.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Any moneys in the Specialized License Plate Fund
derived from the issuance, renewal, transfer, and substitution of a
specialized license plate issued under the Pet Lover's License Plate
Program sponsored by the Veterinary Medical Board prior to the
operative date of Senate Bill 1323 of the 2013-14 Regular Session are
hereby appropriated to the Veterinary Medical Board for the sole and
exclusive purpose of funding grants to providers of no-cost or
low-cost animal sterilization services.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to ensure that funds from a specialized license plate
program are available as soon as possible to allow the Veterinary
Medical Board to support the critically important efforts of city and
county animal shelters to address serious animal care and control
problems facing the state, it is necessary that this act go into
effect immediately.
