Summary

Existing law generally regulates the operation of pedicabs, including 4-wheeled devices that are primarily or exclusively pedal-powered and seat 8 or more passengers, as specified. Existing law, until January 1, 2020, imposes certain requirements on pedicabs that allow passengers to consume alcohol while on board the pedicab, including that the alcohol consumption must be authorized by local ordinance or resolution and that an onboard safety monitor must be present whenever passengers are consuming alcohol during the operation of the pedicab. A violation of these provisions is an infraction. This bill would delete the repeal date for the requirements described above, thereby extending those requirements indefinitely. Because a violation of these provisions is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
