	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 180, Speier.  Proof of insurance:  vehicles.
   Existing law generally requires a person who applies for renewal
of registration of a motor vehicle to provide proof that the
applicant is in compliance with the financial responsibility laws of
this state.  Existing law also generally requires the driver of a
motor vehicle to provide proof of financial responsibility upon
demand to a peace officer or traffic collision investigator, as
specified, and provides for issuance of a notice to appear for
failure to do so.
   Existing law, operative January 1, 2004, exempts vehicle owners
residing in the City and County of San Francisco or the County of Los
Angeles, and motorists who drive upon a highway in the City and
County of San Francisco or the County of Los Angeles, respectively,
from these financial responsibility requirements.
   This bill would change the operative date of these exemptions to
January 1, 2007.
   This bill would provide that its provisions would become operative
only if SB 1427 is also enacted.
