Summary

(1) Existing law prohibits the sale of motor brake friction materials containing specified constituents in excess of specified concentrations. Existing law, however, until December 31, 2023, authorizes motor vehicle manufacturers and distributors, wholesalers, or retailers to sell brake friction materials that are not certified as compliant with that provision solely for the purpose of depletion of inventories. This bill would additionally authorize motor vehicle dealers to continue to sell or offer for sale brake friction material not certified as compliant, as specified, if the brake friction material was installed before the vehicle was acquired by the dealer. (2) Existing law defines tire broker to mean a person that arranges for the shipment of used or waste tires to or from a site located within the state, or through the state, as defined. Existing law requires a tire broker to submit periodic information to the department on the used or waste tires arranged to be shipped to the tire broker to, from, or through the state. This bill would exclude a tire retailer primarily engaged in the retail sale, service, and installation of new tires on customer vehicles, and a vehicle dealer, as defined, from the definition of a tire broker. (3) Existing law establishes the Consumer Motor Vehicle Recovery Corporation (recovery corporation) to provide payments to consumers on eligible claims, including, but not limited to, a claim based on a vehicle dealer or lessor-retailer's failure to remit license or registration fees or failure to pay proceeds of a consignment sale, subject to certain requirements and limitations. Existing law permits a consumer to file an application with the recovery corporation for the payment of the consumer's eligible claim if a dealer or lessor-retailer against whom the claim is asserted has ceased selling and leasing motor vehicles to the general public or has become subject to a petition in bankruptcy. This bill would expand the definition of "eligible claim," for purposes of those provisions, to include a claim based on the failure of a vehicle dealer or lessor-retailer to provide a consumer who purchased a vehicle from the dealer or lessor-retailer with good title to the vehicle, free from any security interest or other lien, encumbrance, or claim, as specified, or pay to a 3rd party any amount received from, or contractually obligated to be paid by, a consumer for insurance, service contracts, or goods or services purchased through the dealer or lessor-retailer and to be provided by the 3rd party. This bill would require the consumer to provide specified information if the eligible claim is based on the failure to provide good title or the failure to pay 3rd parties for insurance, service contracts, or goods or services. (4) Existing law excludes from the definition of commercial motor vehicle, for purposes of certain provisions, specified trucks and truck tractors with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 26,001 pounds, when used solely to tow specified trailers. Existing law prohibits a motor carrier of property from operating a commercial motor vehicle on any public highway in this state, unless it has, among other things, registered with the department its carrier identification number, as specified, and holds a valid motor carrier permit issued to that motor carrier by the department. This bill would additionally exclude from the definition of commercial motor vehicle specified trucks and truck tractors, with a gross vehicle rating of less than 26,001 pounds, operated solely to tow specified trailers, including trailers designed to transport watercraft. This bill would also exclude from the definition of commercial motor vehicle specified truck and truck tractors, with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 16,001 pounds, operated singly in noncommercial use. (5) This bill would make other technical, nonsubstantive, conforming, and clarifying changes. (6) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 34601 of the Vehicle Code proposed by AB 529 that would become operative if this bill and AB 529 are both enacted and this bill is enacted last.
