INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Allen

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add and repeal Section 5353.1 of the Public Utilities
Code, relating to charter-party carriers of passengers.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1366, as amended, Allen. Charter-party carriers of passengers:
report by Public Utilities Commission.
   The Passenger Charter-Party Carriers' Act, with certain
exceptions, prohibits a charter-party carrier of passengers from
engaging in transportation services subject to regulation by the
Public Utilities Commission without obtaining a specified certificate
or permit, as appropriate, from the commission, and imposes various
other requirements. Existing law establishes various exclusions to
the act. Pursuant to existing law, the commission has opened
Rulemaking 12-12-011 to assess public safety risks and to ensure that
the safety of the public is not compromised in the operation of
transportation services utilizing new transportation business models.

   This bill would require the commission, by  January 1,
2014, to report to the Legislature summarizing  
February 1, 2014, to include in a specified annual report to the
Legislature, a summary of  the results and conclusions of the
commission in Rulemaking 12-12-011, including any recommendations to
the Legislature of proposed statutory changes. The bill would repeal
this requirement on January 1, 2018.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
