SB1186 Compliance
On September 19, 2012 Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill -1186 which adds a state fee of $1 on any applicant for a local business license or similar instrument or permit, or renewal thereof. The purpose of this fee is to increase disability access and compliance with construction-related accessibility requirements and to develop educational resources for businesses in order to facilitate compliance with federal and state disability laws, as specified.
On October 11, 2017, this $1 fee was extended indefinitely and, on Jan. 1, 2018 until Dec. 31, 2023, the amount was increased from $1 to $4. The fee will revert back to $1 on Jan. 1, 2024.
