The changes precede his swearing in as director of the Department of Health Care Services.

Ban on Berthing Tax Gains Ban on Berthing Tax
In Sacramento the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee approved legislation prohibiting property tax on berthing privileges in California harbors. Assemblyman Vincent Thomas Eefan Pedro introduced a bill to exempt nonexclusive berthing rights for large ships, while Los Angeles County opposed it, arguing it would reduce county revenue by hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly. The measure defines berthing rights as not a possessory interest and thus not taxable, countering the idea that exclusive use of a facility constitutes taxable property.
