	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1935, Costa.  Commercial coaches:  commercial modulars.
   The Mobilehomes-Manufactured Housing Act of 1980, authorizes the
Department of Housing and Community Development to adopt regulations
for the construction of commercial coaches and special purpose
commercial coaches.  A knowing violation of the act or regulations
issued pursuant to it is punishable as a misdemeanor.  The act
defines a special purpose commercial coach as a vehicle with or
without motive power, designed for human occupancy, for industrial,
professional, or commercial purposes, that is not required to be
moved under a permit.
   This bill would provide that the definition of a commercial coach
and special purpose commercial coach means the same as commercial
modular and special purpose commercial modular, respectively, and
applies to all statutory references of these terms.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 18001.8 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   18001.8.  "Commercial modular" means a structure transportable in
one  or more sections, designed and equipped for human occupancy for
industrial, professional, or commercial purposes, which is required
to be moved under permit, and shall include a trailer coach as
defined in Section 635 of the Vehicle Code.  "Commercial coach" has
the same meaning as "commercial modular" as that term is defined in
this section.
  SEC. 2.  Section 18012.5 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   18012.5.  "Special purpose commercial modular" means a vehicle
with or without motive power, designed and equipped for human
occupancy for industrial, professional, or commercial purposes, which
is not required to be moved under permit, and shall include a
trailer coach.  "Special purpose commercial coach" has the same
meaning as "special purpose commercial modular" as that term is
defined in this section.
  SEC. 3.  Section 18015.1 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to
read:
   18015.1.  All statutory references to "commercial coach" and to
"special purpose commercial coach" are hereby deemed to refer to
"commercial modular" and to "special purpose commercial modular,"
respectively.
