	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  MARCH 19, 2015

INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bloom

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2015

   An act to amend Section 35554 of the Vehicle Code, relating to
vehicles.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1250, as amended, Bloom. Vehicles: buses: gross axle weight.
   Existing law, operative January 1, 2016,  and subject to
exception for certain transit buses,  provides that the
gross weight on any one axle of a bus shall not exceed 20,500 pounds.
 Existing law exempts from this limitation a transit bus
procured through a solicitation process pursuant to which a
solicitation was issued before January 1, 2013. A violation of this
provision is a crime.  
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.  
   This bill would exempt from the weight limitation transit buses
procured through a solicitation process pursuant to which a
solicitation was issued before January 1, 2016. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
