What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain persons who transport passengers or property by

motor vehicle on highways, "motor carriers," are subject to certain regulations,

including licensure and insurance requirements. Current law defines one type of

motor carrier, a "common motor carrier," as "any person who holds himself or herself

out to the public as willing to undertake for hire to transport passengers by motor

vehicle between fixed end points or over a regular route upon the public highways

or property over regular or irregular routes upon the public highways." The

definition, further, specifically excludes coverage of the transportation of passengers

in commuter car pool or van pool vehicles with a passenger-carrying capacity of less

than 16 persons. This bill limits this exclusion to vehicles with a passenger-carrying

capacity of less than eight persons, including the driver.
