38241.  Any city, county, or city and county may apply to the
population research unit of the Department of Finance to estimate its
population.  The department may make the estimate if in the opinion
of the department there is available adequate information upon which
to base the estimate.  Not less than 25 days nor more than 30 days
after the completion of the estimate, the Department of Finance shall
file a certified copy thereof with the Controller if the estimate is
greater than the current certified population.  This certification
may be made once each fiscal year.

the filing of the estimate shall be based upon the population so
estimated until a subsequent certification is made by the Department
of Finance or a subsequent federal decennial census is made.
   Population changes based on a federal or state special census or
estimate validated by the Department of Finance shall be accepted by
the Controller only if certified to him or her at the request of the
Department of Finance.  The request shall be made only if the census
or estimate is greater than the current certified population and
shall become effective on the first day of the month following
receipt of the certification.
   The Department of Finance may assess a reasonable charge, not to
exceed the actual cost thereof, for the preparation of population
estimates pursuant to this section, which is a proper charge against
the city, county or city and county applying therefor.  The amount
received shall be deposited in the State Treasury as a reimbursement
to be credited to the appropriation from which the expenditure is
made.
   As of May 1, 1988, any population estimate prepared by the
Department of Finance pursuant to Section 2227 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code may be used for all purposes of this section unless a
written request not to certify is received by the department from the
city, city and county, or county within 25 days of completion of the

penalty shall be assessed.
   (c) If renewal fee penalties have not accrued and the ownership of
the vehicle is transferred, the transferee has 20 days from the date
of transfer to pay the identification fees that become due without
payment of any penalties that would otherwise be required under
subdivision (a) or to file a certificate of nonoperation pursuant to
subdivision (a) of Section 38121, if the vehicle will not be
operated, used, or transported on public property or private property
in a manner so as to subject the vehicle to identification during
the subsequent identification period without first making application
for identification of the vehicle, including full payment of all
fees.
   (d) Except as otherwise provided in this section, if any fee is
not paid within 20 days after the fee becomes delinquent, a penalty

38247.  (a) When a transferee or purchaser of a vehicle applies for
transfer of identification, as provided in Section 38025, and it is
determined by the department that penalties accrued prior to the
purchase of the vehicle, and that the transferee or purchaser was not
cognizant of the nonpayment of the fees for identification for the
current or prior identification years, the department may waive the
identification penalties upon payment of the fees for identification
due.
   (b) Other provisions of this code notwithstanding, the director
may at his discretion investigate into the circumstances of any
application for identification to ascertain if penalties had accrued
through no fault or intent of the owner.  Provided such circumstances
prevail, the director may waive any penalties upon payment of the
fees for identification then due.
   (c) When a transferee or purchaser of a vehicle applies for
transfer of identification of a vehicle, and it is determined by the
department that fees for identification of the vehicle for any year
are unpaid and due, that such fees became due prior to the purchase
of the vehicle by the transferee or purchaser and that the transferee
or purchaser was not cognizant of the fact that such fees were
unpaid and due, the department may waive such fees and any penalty
thereon when the identification fees due for the vehicle for the
current year are paid.
   (d) Upon the transfer of a vehicle for which fees for
identification and any penalties thereon are unpaid and due, such
fees and penalties are, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 6
(commencing with Section 9800) of this chapter, the personal debt of
the transferor of the vehicle who did not pay such fees and penalties
when they became due or accrued.  Such fees and penalties may be
collected by the department in an appropriate civil action if the
department has waived such fees and penalties pursuant to subdivision
(c).

endorsed certificate of ownership and the transfer fee has not been
