	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1986, Linder. Vehicles: traffic violator school program.
   Existing law provides for the licensing and administration by the
Department of Motor Vehicles of traffic violator schools, operators,
and instructors. Existing law declares the intent of the Legislature
to, among other things, make the traffic violator school (TVS)
program as effective as possible by developing a comprehensive system
of statewide regulation of traffic violator schools, thereby
ensuring uniform curricula and consistency in oversight and
monitoring. Existing law, until January 1, 2016, requires, by
December 31 of each year, the Department of Motor Vehicles to report
to the Legislature on the status and progress of the TVS program and
of its efforts to implement a comprehensive system of statewide
regulation of traffic violator schools, and requires the report to
include, among other things, information on the number and type of
programs licensed.
   This bill, until January 1, 2016, would instead require the
department to report to the Legislature by December 15 of each year.
