	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 287, as introduced, Gordon. Vehicles: safety recalls.
   Existing law generally regulates the transfer and registration of
motor vehicles. Existing federal law requires a motor vehicle
manufacturer to notify the owner or purchaser of a motor vehicle when
the manufacturer determines that the vehicle contains a
safety-related defect or when the manufacturer is ordered by the
federal Secretary of Transportation to notify vehicle owners and
purchasers that a vehicle has a safety-related defect.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact the
Consumer Automotive Recall Safety Act to provide comprehensive
consumer protections that address the low recall repair completion
rate and consumer confusion regarding automotive recalls in
California.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact the
Consumer Automotive Recall Safety Act to provide comprehensive
consumer protections that address the low recall repair completion
rate and consumer confusion regarding automotive recalls in
