This bill died with 2013-2014 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to authorize the placement of vending machines in safety roadside rests, except as specified, and requires the department to give preference in the placement of vending machines to vendors operating under the Business Enterprises Program for the Blind. Existing law requires the department to determine the costs for specified activities, including any maintenance and operation, related to the vending machines and requires that the department be reimbursed for those costs from the revenues derived from the operation of the machines. This bill would prohibit the department from being reimbursed for utility costs incurred by vendors operating under the Business Enterprises Program for the Blind and would require the department to pay for those utility costs using state funds.
