Comments
Purpose of the bill . The Assembly Transportation Committee
is authoring this bill as a means of combining multiple,
non-controversial changes to statutes into one bill, so
that the Legislature can make minor amendments in a
cost-effective manner. There is no known opposition to any
item in the bill, and if concerns arise that cannot be
resolved, the provision of concern will be deleted from the
AB 282

bill.
Prior legislation . Many of the items in this bill were
included in last year's omnibus bill, AB 3064 (Assembly
Transportation Committee). Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed
AB 3064, stating: "The historic delay in passing the
2008-2009 State Budget has forced me to prioritize the
bills sent to my desk at the end of the year's legislative
session. Given the delay, I am only signing bills that are
the highest priority for California. This bill does not
meet that standard and I cannot sign it at this time."
