CA SB433

Authorizes the California Coastal Commission to impose administrative civil penalties up to 75 percent of the maximum penalty under Section 30820 on persons who violate any provision of the California Coastal Act except public access provisions.

Allows penalties to be assessed for each day a violation persists, but for no more than five years, and requires violations to be addressed through majority vote in a duly noticed public hearing.

Exempts violations from penalties if property owners correct the violation within 60 days of written notification from the commission, provided no additional development permit is needed.

Requires commission staff to annually report to the full commission and Legislature on violations investigated, resolved, penalties issued, dollar amounts collected, and resolution timelines beginning January 1, 2024.

Directs revenues from penalties to the Violation Remediation Account of the Coastal Conservancy Fund and permits local governments with certified coastal programs to enforce building code violations consistent with their programs.
