AB 2796: State highway routes: Route 241.

  • Session Year: 2017-2018
  • House: Assembly
Version:

Existing law establishes the State Highway System and designates state highway routes from Route 1 to Route 905. Existing law designates Route 241 from Route 5 south of San Clemente to Route 91 in the City of Anaheim.

This bill would instead designate Route 241 from Oso Parkway in the City of Mission Viejo to Route 91 in the City of Anaheim.

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to develop, by January 1, 2019, a system for dealers and lessor-retailers to electronically report the sale of a vehicle before the vehicle is delivered to the purchaser. Existing law requires the system to conform to specified conditions, including requirements that the system record vehicle information, and purchaser name and address, and generate temporary license plates, as specified. Existing law authorizes a dealer to charge a purchaser or lessee certain charges, including an electronic filing charge for services related to reporting vehicle sales and producing temporary license plates. Existing law restricts access to the dealer reporting system to authorized users of the departments vehicle registration and occupational licensing databases. Existing law requires hospitals to make reasonable efforts to contact the agent, surrogate, or family of patients who are otherwise incapable of communication. This bill would require the dealer reporting system to record the emergency contact information provided by a purchaser or lessee, as specified. The bill would authorize a dealer to include within the electronic filing charge imposed on a purchaser or lessee, the costs of reporting emergency contact information. The bill would require law enforcement personnel, when practicable, to expeditiously provide emergency contact information from the system, either verbal or written, to the emergency department of a general acute care hospital receiving a motor vehicle crash victim who is unconscious or otherwise incapable of communication. By imposing additional duties on local law enforcement agencies, 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
