Except as provided in Section 18930, the department shall adopt regulations that it determines are necessary for the administration and enforcement of this part. The regulations adopted, amended, or repealed shall prescribe reasonable requirements for issuance of permits and establish procedures for suspension of permits, including appeal procedures.
The department shall establish a schedule of fees to pay for the cost of administration and enforcement of this part, that includes, but is not limited to, the following minimum permit fees:
A two-hundred-dollar ($200) issuance fee for a permit to operate employee housing for each employee housing facility.
A twenty-seven-dollar ($27) permit operation fee for each employee the operator intends to house where that housing is supplied by the operator, and at least twenty-seven dollars ($27) for each lot or site provided for parking or the placement of manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or recreational vehicles or other accommodations by employees.
The department may adjust the fees established pursuant to subdivision (b), if necessary, to finance the costs of administration and enforcement of this part.
Any fee adjustment pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be deemed a change in regulation for purposes of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
There is hereby established in the State Treasury the Employee Housing Regulation Fund. Moneys collected by the department pursuant to this part and regulations adopted pursuant thereto shall be deposited in the fund. Moneys deposited in the fund shall be available, subject to appropriation by the Legislature, to the department for expenditure in carrying out this part. The department shall set the fees with the primary objective that the aggregate revenue deposited in the fund shall not, on an annual basis, exceed the costs of the department’s activities mandated by this part. The total money contained in the fund on June 30 of each fiscal year shall not exceed the operating expenses and statewide general administrative costs that the department needs to enforce this part for one year. 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.
