Section 2281 Of Article 8. Powers And Duties From California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 8.
2281
. Except as otherwise specifically provided, in all cases where
provisions of this code place joint responsibility for the
enforcement of laws and regulations on the director and the
commissioner, the commissioner shall be responsible for local
administration of the enforcement program. The director shall be
responsible for overall statewide enforcement and shall issue
instructions and make recommendations to the commissioner. Such
instructions and recommendations shall govern the procedure to be
followed by the commissioner in the discharge of his duties. The
director shall furnish assistance in planning and otherwise
developing an adequate county enforcement program, including
uniformity, coordination, training, special services, special
equipment, and forms, statewide publicity, statewide planning, and
emergency assistance.
The instructions and recommendations shall include a cost analysis
of the local administration of such programs, determined from data
supplied by the commissioner pursuant to Section 2272. Such cost
analysis shall identify the joint programs or activities for which
funds necessary to maintain adequate county administration and
enforcement have not been provided. The director shall develop,
jointly with the commissioners, county priorities for such
enforcement programs and activities.
The director shall report annually to the Legislature his findings
concerning the cost analysis with specific regard to programs where
funds are inadequate for an efficient enforcement program, together
with a listing of the priorities jointly established by the director
and the commissioners that are contained in the formal instructions
and recommendations of the director.
