AB 2380: Pest control: registration fees.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of any county to establish reasonable fees for the registration of any person advertising, soliciting, or operating as a pest control business and limits the registration fee of certain pest control businesses to the amount necessary to cover the costs of registration, not to exceed $25.

This bill would raise the maximum total registration fee amount from $25 to $75 for a pest control business to register in its home county and to $50 to register in an additional county, as provided.

Existing law authorizes county boards of supervisors to set fees for registration to cover the cost of registering pest control aircraft pilots and pest control advisers, and limits those fees to no more than $10 per year for a pilot who registers in person in the county in which they intend to work and for an adviser who registers in person in the county listed in the adviser’s address on a specified license or the county of occupational choice, and no more than $5 per year for a pilot or adviser already registered in a county to register in an additional county, as provided.

This bill would raise the maximum total registration fee amount for a pest control aircraft pilot and pest control adviser to register in their home county and in an additional county, as specified.

Existing law requires certain licensed structural pest control operator qualifying managers and Structural Pest Control Board registered companies to register with the county agricultural commissioner before operating a structural pest control business in the county. Existing law authorizes county boards of supervisors to require a registration fee not to exceed the actual cost of processing the registration or $10, whichever is less.

This bill would raise the maximum total registration fee amount for a Structural Pest Control Board registered company to register in its home county and in an additional county, as specified.
