Charter-party carriers: transportation of passengers for compensation.

The Passenger Charter-party Carriers' Act provides for the regulation of motor carriers operating as charter-party carriers of passengers by the Public Utilities Commission. Existing law defines a charter-party carrier of passengers, subject to certain exceptions, to mean every person engaged in the transportation of persons by motor vehicle for compensation, whether in common or contract carriage, over any public highway. Existing law states the purpose of these provisions. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
