This seems to apply only to ham radio repeaters located on public property. Still, it is stupid to remove a free, to the government, secondary emergency communications medium. Bad precedent too. Stupid. Hams do use these repeaters everyday for their own purposes.

You can bet that a lot of legislators are being briefed right about now.

And now the clarification is settling into place. The lease fees only apply to repeaters in Cal Fire sponsored locations that can’t document how they’re connected to emergency services.
Also note they’re now saying it’s not necessary to contact legislators or the governor’s office. Which definitely means they’ve been contacted. A lot. And the questions are starting to flow downhill from the top.
