AB2787

Water, parks, and wildlife: omnibus bill.

Chamber Passed·5/7/26

AB2787 establishes an invasive mussel infestation prevention fee for vessel owners in California.

AB2787 amends the Vehicle Code to introduce an invasive mussel infestation prevention fee for vessel owners. The fee varies between $15 and $42, depending on the year, and is adjusted for inflation every odd-numbered year. The fee is collected separately from the original registration fee and is not applicable to vessels used exclusively in marine waters. Failure to pay this fee does not prevent the issuance of vessel registration. The revenues collected from this fee are deposited into the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund and are to be used for specified purposes.
