Summary

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles, upon application for an original driver's license, except a student license, to require an examination of the applicant. Existing law requires the applicant to submit to an examination appropriate to the type of motor vehicle or combination of vehicles the applicant desires a license to drive. Existing law provides that a person holding a valid California driver's license of any class may operate a short-term rental motorized bicycle without taking any special examination for the operation of a motorized bicycle, and without having a class M2 endorsement on that license, and specifies that "short-term" means 48 hours or less. This bill would additionally define "short-term" to mean a period not to exceed 30 days for an operator who meets specified requirements, including that they are at least 18 years of age and have submitted to a motor vehicle record check. The bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
