. (a) There is hereby established in the State Treasury the
Mobilehome Parks and Special Occupancy Parks Revolving Fund into
which funds collected by the department pursuant to this part and
Part 2.3 (commencing with Section 18860) shall be deposited. Moneys
deposited in the fund shall be available, upon appropriation, to the
department for expenditure in carrying out the provisions of this
part and Part 2.3 (commencing with Section 18860). The department
shall by January 1, 2003, establish procedures that permit the
identification of revenues received by the fund and expenditures paid
out of the fund as they relate to mobilehome parks and special
occupancy parks.
(b) Notwithstanding any maximum fees set by this part, the
department may, by regulation, set fees charged by the department for
all permits and for the department's activities mandated by this
part. The fees shall be set with the primary objective that the
aggregate revenue deposited in the Mobilehome Parks and Special
Occupancy Parks Revolving Fund by or on behalf of mobilehome parks
and special occupancy parks shall not, on an annual basis, exceed the
costs of the department's activities mandated by this part, and the
aggregate amount deposited into the fund by or on behalf of
recreational vehicle parks shall not, on an annual basis, exceed the
costs of the department's activities mandated by Part 2.3 (commencing
with Section 18860).
(c) No proposed increase in fees may be effective any sooner than
45 days after written notification thereof is provided to the
Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee and the State
Auditor. Upon receipt of the notification, the State Auditor may
prepare a report to the Legislature that indicates whether the
proposed increase is appropriate and consistent with this part.
(d) The total money contained in the Mobilehome Parks and Special
Occupancy Parks Revolving Fund on June 30 of each fiscal year shall
not exceed the amount of money needed for the department's operating
expenses for one year for the enforcement of this part and Part 2.3
(commencing with Section 18860). If the total money contained in the
fund exceeds this amount, the department shall make appropriate
reductions in the schedule of fees authorized by this section,
Section 18870.3, or both.
