2025 Regulatory Fee Updates Package

The 2025 Regulatory Fee Updates Package is a forecast initiative by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board to update its fee schedule and amend the California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Division 1. The primary objective of this action is to address rising operating costs and reduce the agency's reliance on the State's General Fund. This process involves the approval of rulemaking documents and the initiation of a formal rulemaking process with the Office of Administrative Law. The project is designated as statewide in scope, covering numerous California counties including Butte, Fresno, Kern, Sacramento, and Yolo, among others. Under the guidance of Environmental Program Manager Jamie Silva and Executive Officer Chris Lief, the project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15273(a). The effort is categorized under NAICS code 541620.
