What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Permit fees Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may operate upon a highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds certain statutory weight or size limits unless the person obtains a permit issued by the Department of Transportation or a local authority. Current law contains numerous fee provisions for these permits that applied only during a specific timeframe. This bill repeals these fee provisions.
Motorcycle registration weight Under current law, a motor vehicle may not be operated upon a highway without a current, valid registration acquired by payment of a specified fee to DOT.
Read the full summary Show less
Current law establishes a fee for the registration of a motorcycle or moped with a curb weight of 1,499 pounds or less. This bill eliminates the weight limit.
Motor vehicle emission control equipment grant program Under current law, DOT administers a program to provide grants for the purchase and installation of oxidation catalyst mufflers on school buses customarily kept in counties in which the air quality does not meet certain federal standards.
This bill eliminates the program.
Specific information signs Under current law, DOT may authorize the erection of specific information signs, i.e., signs to direct motorists to services along a highway, only on highways enumerated by the legislature. Currently, nearly 40 highways or portions of highways are enumerated for this purpose. This bill makes several changes to existing enumerations to correct obsolete or otherwise incorrect references.
