I think if you check state law, you'll find there is no such thing as a "California Hazmat Fee" with regards to welding supplies. Like the many dubious "fees" tacked on to your cell phone bill, it is simply the vendor passing on what they deem to be the cost of complying with state, federal and/or local regulations. The money collected goes into the vendor's bank account, and may or may not represent what they are paying to the government in regulatory fees. Most likely, it's based not at all on regulatory fees but rather what they think their customers will stand for. Listing it as a "state regulatory fee" deflects blame on your beloved governor and legislature while improving their profit margin.

One might think that, when dealing with hazardous gases, complying with all the various and sundry safety regulations would simply be good sense and a cost of doing business. But the more of your expenses you pass on to your customers, the more profit there is for you. (Good luck tacking on a "state regulatory fee" onto your next mowing invoice!)
