State fees.

Under existing law, the Department of Housing and Community Development is required to establish a schedule of fees to pay for the cost of administration and enforcement of the Employee Housing Act. The department is required to establish a schedule of fees that includes, but is not limited to, specified minimum permit fees. The department is authorized, on or after January 1, 2010, to increase these specified fees, if necessary, to finance the costs of administration and enforcement of the act. Existing law also requires the department to gather certain information for permittees for which it acts as the enforcement agency, except as specified. The Mobilehome Parks Act requires the payment of various registration and renewal fees to the department for a specified section of a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial coach and the payment of an annual operating permit fee, as specified. Existing law, among other things, establishes the Labor Enforcement and Compliance Fund in the State Treasury and requires the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations to levy a separate surcharge upon all employers for purposes of deposit in the fund. Existing law requires that the total amount of the surcharges be allocated between employers in proportion to payroll respectively paid in the most recent year for which payroll information is available, and requires the director to adopt reasonable regulations governing the manner of collection of the surcharges. This bill would repeal and reinstate these provisions of existing law.
