Vehicles: charter-party carriers: busdrivers.

Existing law requires the clerk of a court in which a person was convicted of specified violations to prepare and forward to the Department of Motor Vehicles an abstract of record of the court covering the case in which the person was convicted. This bill would additionally require the clerk of the court to prepare and forward to the department an abstract of record of the court covering the case in which a person was convicted of driving a bus for a charter-party carrier without having a current and valid driver's license of the proper class, a passenger vehicle endorsement, or the required certificate. Existing law establishes in the Public Resources Code various boards, commissions, and committees regarding, among other things, energy conservation, state parks, and state lands. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions by replacing the term "chairman" with the gender neutral term "chair." Existing law requires the Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency, prior to March 31, 1997, to submit a report to the Legislature on public policy strategies that address the feasibility of shifting costs from electric utility ratepayers, in whole or in part, to other classes of beneficiaries. Existing law requires the secretary, on or before March 31 of each year from 1999 to 2001, inclusive, to submit to the Legislature an annual report on the existence, status, and progress of any public policy measures for cost-shifting. This bill would repeal those obsolete reporting provisions.
