Section 78561 Of Article 7. Financial Provisions From California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 22. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 23. >> Article 7.

. To the extent that programs for specific species of fish or shellfish are included in the budget, as opposed to programs to benefit generally all the species covered by this chapter, there shall be reflected in that same year's budget, or in budgets prepared for the following years, programs for other species of fish and shellfish covered under this chapter. The funds expended pursuant to the council's budget for any program for a specific species of fish and shellfish shall be in the same proportion, based on the fees collected from that species of fish or shellfish, as that expended for each of the other species of fish and shellfish covered under this chapter. Proportional funding of species-specific programs are not required in the annual budget for the year in which the program is first adopted, but proportional funding shall be required in the budget for each subsequent year that each such program is included in the annual budget.
