EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On April 28, 2021, the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the proposed amendments to the Device Administration - Inspection and Fees regulation in CCR Title 4, Section 4075. The Department of Weights & Measures is responsible for collecting the administrative fee on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
Section 12240 of the California Business Professions Code, relating to weights and measures, provides that the county board of supervisors, by ordinance, may charge an annual device registration fee, not to exceed the county's total cost of actually inspecting or testing the devices as required by law. For this reason, the fee increase must be adopted by ordinance rather than resolution.
PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Staff Reports.
2. Public Comments.

4. Motion, second, discussion and vote to adopt the resolution.
