Subject: RE: AB-147 Relating to: regulating the amount of a forfeiture for failure to remove snow.

This bill is in direct conflict CC File # 081369 . I believe the recovery of costs for these type of nuisance violations lies with the local jurisdiction of government and the State has no business meddling in local affairs. I believe we should oppose this legislation. By copy I am asking staff to further comment.

Thanks
