Summary

Existing law requires all drivers and all owners of a motor vehicle, at all times, to be able to establish financial responsibility and carry in the vehicle evidence of the form of financial responsibility in effect for the vehicle, including, but not limited to, self-insurance, a liability policy or bond, and cash deposit. The Department of Motor Vehicles is required to suspend the driving privilege of the driver or the owner of a vehicle that is involved in an accident, as specified, who fails to provide evidence of financial responsibility. Existing law provides various means of producing proof of financial responsibility and ability to respond to damages involving motor vehicle accidents, including, the written certificate of an insurance carrier that has issued a motor vehicle liability policy, a bond payable on motion of the state, or a cash deposit with the department, as specified. Existing law provides for the release of the proof of financial responsibility from the department upon the occurrence of specified events, including that the person is no longer required to maintain the proof, or the death of the person on whose behalf the proof was filed. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions governing release of the proof of financial responsibility.
