SECTION 71271

71271. If a federal program and regulations similar to the program
and regulations developed pursuant to this division are established
and implemented, the commission shall submit a report to the
Legislature within eight months of the implementation of the federal
program. The report shall compare the federal program with the
program described in this division and make a finding as to the
federal program's relative effectiveness in preventing the
introduction of marine invasive species from vessels visiting
California. The commission shall recommend repeal of the program
described in this division only if it finds that the federal program
is equally or more effective at implementing and funding effective
controls on the release of aquatic invasive species into the waters
of the state than the program described in this division.
