    The following editor's statement is included pursuant to Business and Tax Regulations Code Sec. 76.1(c):
    The fees administered pursuant to Business and Tax Regulations Code Sec. 76.1 are subject to annual review and adjustment to reflect the City's cost increases or decreases, which may include adjustments based upon the Consumer Price Index that most accurately tracks increases and decreases in the City's cost for the function, service, or undertaking for which the fee will pay. Each department maintains on its website an up-to-date list of the fees charged subject to adjustment.
     Except pro rated licenses which may be less than one year, funeral escort licenses shall expire one year from the date of issuance unless the permit is revoked sooner. Permits shall be nontransferable.
