	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  MARCH 28, 2014

INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Muratsuchi

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2014

   An act to  amend Section 20003 of   add
Section 22511.2 to  the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2565, as amended, Muratsuchi.  Vehicles: accidents.
  Electric vehicles: offstreet parking facilities. 

   Existing law authorizes a local authority, by ordinance or
resolution, and a person in lawful possession of an offstreet parking
facility, to designate stalls or spaces for the exclusive purpose of
charging and parking a vehicle that is connected for electric
charging purposes. Existing law also authorizes the removal of a
vehicle from an offstreet parking facility if the vehicle is not
connected for electric charging purposes.  
   This bill would require, on or before July 1, 2015, an offstreet
parking facility with more than 50 parking stalls or spaces to have
at least 1% of the parking stalls or spaces within that facility
designated for the exclusive use of electric vehicles and equipped
with electric charging stations, as defined. The bill would authorize
an owner or person or entity in lawful possession of multiple
offstreet parking facilities within a one-mile radius to designate
fewer parking stalls or spaces for electric vehicles in one or more
facilities, if the total number of electric vehicle stalls or spaces,
for all facilities within the one-mile radius, equals the number
that would otherwise be required. The bill would prohibit a parking
stall or space designated for this purpose from displacing or
reducing certain accessible stalls or spaces required by federal
Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. 

   Existing law requires the driver of any vehicle involved in an
accident resulting in injury to or death of any person to also give
his or her name, current residence address, the names and current
residence addresses of any occupant of the driver's vehicle injured
in the accident, the registration number of the vehicle he or she is
driving, and the name and current residence address of the owner to
the person struck or the driver or occupants of any vehicle collided
with, and must give the information to any traffic or police officer
at the scene of the accident. Existing law also requires the driver
to render to any person injured in the accident reasonable
assistance, including transporting, or making arrangements for
transporting, any injured person to a physician, surgeon, or hospital
for medical or surgical treatment if it is apparent that treatment
is necessary or if that transportation is requested by any injured
person.  
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
