   AB 1932, Obernolte. Vehicles: motorcycle safety training.
   Existing law provides for the licensing and administration by the
Department of Motor Vehicles of traffic violator schools, operators,
and instructors. Existing law authorizes the Director of Motor
Vehicles to prescribe rules and regulations for traffic violator
schools regarding the conduct of courses of education, including
curriculum, facilities, and equipment.
   Existing law establishes a motorcyclist safety program,
administered by the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol.
Existing law authorizes the commissioner to adopt standards for
course content, contact hours, curriculum, instructor training and
testing, and instructional quality control for a novice rider
training course and a premier motorcyclist safety training program.
   This bill would authorize a motorcyclist safety training program
that is licensed as a traffic violator school to administer a
motorcyclist training course, and would authorize the course to
include instruction specific to the safe and lawful operation of
motorcycles in addition to the curriculum prescribed by the
department for traffic violator schools.

the curriculum prescribed by the department pursuant to Section

specific to the safe and lawful operation of motorcycles in
accordance with Section 2932.
