AB 282 — Transportation.

Summary

(1) The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 authorizes the issuance of $19.925 billion in general obligation bonds for various transportation improvements, of which $2 billion are to be allocated, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to cities and counties for specified street and road improvements. The act requires a city or county to reimburse the state for funds it receives if it fails to comply with certain conditions applicable to the expenditure of the bond funds. This bill would require any interest or other return earned by a city or county from investment of bond funds received under these provisions to be expended or reimbursed under the same conditions as are applicable to the bond funds themselves. (2) The Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act requires transit operators to file an annual report of their operation with the transportation planning agencies having jurisdiction over them and the Controller within 90 days after the close of the operator's fiscal year. This bill would extend the filing deadline from 90 days to 110 days after the close of the operator's fiscal year if the report is filed electronically. (3) Existing law establishes a process by which a licensed driver may grant consent to be an organ and tissue donor upon death and allows the potential donor to limit the donation to specific organs, tissues, or research. Similar provisions, except for the reference to research, apply to holders of the identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. This bill would conform the identification card donor provisions to the provisions governing licensed drivers by also authorizing the donor to limit the donation to research. (4) Existing law requires a magistrate, who is presented with the affidavit of a peace officer or a designated local transportation officer, as defined, establishing reasonable cause to believe that a vehicle, described by vehicle type and license number, is being operated as a taxicab or other passenger vehicle for hire in violation of the licensing requirements adopted by a local authority, to issue a warrant or order authorizing a peace officer or designated local transportation officer to immediately seize and cause the removal of the vehicle. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision. (5) Existing law prohibits a person from driving a motor vehicle if a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or video signal that produces entertainment or business applications, is operating and is located in the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver's seat, or is operating and visible to the driver while driving the motor vehicle, with certain exceptions. This bill would add to the exceptions to the prohibition in existing law a mobile digital terminal installed in a vehicle owned or operated by specified corporate entities, including, among other entities, a sewer system corporation, as defined, a water corporation, as defined, or a city, joint powers agency, or special district, if that local entity uses the vehicle solely in the provision of sewer service, gas service, water service, or wastewater service, and the terminal is fitted with an opaque covering that does not allow the driver to view the display while driving, or when the vehicle is deployed in an emergency to respond to an interruption or impending interruption of specified services. (6) Under existing law, with certain exceptions, a violation of the Vehicle Code is a crime. Because this bill would change the definition of an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (7) This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 27602 of the Vehicle Code proposed by AB 62, that would become operative only if AB 62 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2010, and this bill is chaptered last. (8) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
