California Legislature—2015–16 Regular Session

Assembly Bill No. 2227

Introduced by Assembly Member Waldron

February 18, 2016

An act to amend Sections 14601.4, 14607.6, 14607.8, and 23573 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2227, as introduced, Waldron. Vehicles: license suspension and revocation: punishment.

Under existing law, it is unlawful for a person, while driving a vehicle with a license suspended or revoked for conviction of a violation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs to do an act forbidden by law or neglect a duty imposed by law in the driving of the vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes bodily injury to a person other than the driver. Conviction for a first violation of this provision is punishable by imprisonment in county jail for not less than 10 days or more than 6 months and by a fine of not less than $300 or more than $1,000, or if the offense occurred within 5 years of a prior offense resulting in conviction of, among other things, driving under the influence or reckless driving, the offense is punishable by imprisonment in county jail for not less than 30 days or more than one year and by a fine of not less than $500 or more than $2,000, in each case except if the person has been designated a habitual traffic offender, as specified.

This bill would additionally make it unlawful for a person, while driving a vehicle with a license that has been suspended or revoked for reckless driving, to do an act forbidden by law or neglect a duty imposed by law in the driving of the vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes bodily injury to a person other than the driver. The bill would make a violation of this provision or the provision described above pertaining to driving with a license suspended or revoked for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs punishable as a misdemeanor or as a felony. By expanding the punishment for an existing crime and by increasing duties on local prosecutors, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law subjects a vehicle to forfeiture as a nuisance if it is driven on a highway in the state by a driver whose license is suspended or revoked, or by an unlicensed driver, who is a registered owner of the vehicle at the time of impoundment who has a previous misdemeanor conviction for, among other violations, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or reckless driving.

This bill would subject those vehicles to forfeiture if the driver has been convicted for a violation of any of those provisions, regardless of whether the conviction was a misdemeanor or felony. This bill would make conforming changes.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SEC. 2.  

Section 14607.6 of the Vehicle Code is amended to
read:

14607.6.  

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and
except as provided in this section, a motor vehicle is subject to
forfeiture as a nuisance if it is driven on a highway in this state by
a driver with a suspended or revoked license, or by an unlicensed
driver, who is a registered owner of the vehicle at the time of
impoundment and has a previous begin delete misdemeanor end delete conviction for a
violation of subdivision (a) of Section 12500 or Section 14601,
14601.1, 14601.2, 14601.3, 14601.4, or 14601.5.

(b) A peace officer shall not stop a vehicle for the sole reason
of determining whether the driver is properly licensed.

(c) (1) If a driver is unable to produce a valid driver’s license
on the demand of a peace officer enforcing the provisions of this
code, as required by subdivision (b) of Section 12951, the vehicle
shall be impounded regardless of ownership, unless the peace
officer is reasonably able, by other means, to verify that the driver
is properly licensed. Prior to impounding a vehicle, a peace officer
shall attempt to verify the license status of a driver who claims to
be properly licensed but is unable to produce the license on demand
of the peace officer.

(2) A peace officer shall not impound a vehicle pursuant to this
subdivision if the license of the driver expired within the preceding
30 days and the driver would otherwise have been properly
licensed.

(3) A peace officer may exercise discretion in a situation where
the driver without a valid license is an employee driving a vehicle
registered to the employer in the course of employment. A peace
officer may also exercise discretion in a situation where the driver
without a valid license is the employee of a bona fide business
establishment or is a person otherwise controlled by begin delete such an end delete begin insert that end insert
establishment and it reasonably appears that an owner of the
vehicle, or an agent of the owner, relinquished possession of the
vehicle to the business establishment solely for servicing or parking
of the vehicle or other reasonably similar situations, and begin delete where end delete
begin insert when end insert the vehicle was not to be driven except as directly necessary
to accomplish that business purpose. In this event, if the vehicle
can be returned to or be retrieved by the business establishment
or registered owner, the peace officer may release and not impound
the vehicle.

(4) A registered or legal owner of record at the time of
impoundment may request a hearing to determine the validity of
the impoundment pursuant to subdivision (n).

(5) If the driver of a vehicle impounded pursuant to this
subdivision was not a registered owner of the vehicle at the time
of impoundment, or if the driver of the vehicle was a registered
owner of the vehicle at the time of impoundment but the driver
does not have a previous conviction for a violation of subdivision
(a) of Section 12500 or Section 14601, 14601.1, 14601.2, 14601.3,
14601.4, or 14601.5, the vehicle shall be released pursuant to this
code and is not subject to forfeiture.

(d) (1) This subdivision applies only if the driver of the vehicle
is a registered owner of the vehicle at the time of impoundment.
Except as provided in paragraph (5) of subdivision (c), if the driver
of a vehicle impounded pursuant to subdivision (c) was a registered
owner of the vehicle at the time of impoundment, the impounding
agency shall authorize release of the vehicle if, within three days
of impoundment, the driver of the vehicle at the time of
impoundment presents his or her valid driver’s license, including
a valid temporary California driver’s license or permit, to the
impounding agency. The vehicle shall then be released to a
registered owner of record at the time of impoundment, or an agent
of that owner authorized in writing, upon payment of towing and
storage charges related to the impoundment, and any administrative
charges authorized by Section 22850.5, providing that the person
claiming the vehicle is properly licensed and the vehicle is properly
registered. A vehicle impounded pursuant to the circumstances
described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) shall be released to
a registered owner whether or not the driver of the vehicle at the
time of impoundment presents a valid driver’s license.

(2) If there is a community property interest in the vehicle
impounded pursuant to subdivision (c), owned at the time of
impoundment by a person other than the driver, and the vehicle is
the only vehicle available to the driver’s immediate family that
may be operated with a class C driver’s license, the vehicle shall
be released to a registered owner or to the community property
interest owner upon compliance with all of the following
requirements:

(A) The registered owner or the community property interest
owner requests release of the vehicle and the owner of the
community property interest submits proof of that interest.

(B) The registered owner or the community property interest
owner submits proof that he or she, or an authorized driver, is
properly licensed and that the impounded vehicle is properly
registered pursuant to this code.

(C) All towing and storage charges related to the impoundment
and any administrative charges authorized pursuant to Section
22850.5 are paid.

(D) The registered owner or the community property interest
owner signs a stipulated vehicle release agreement, as described
in paragraph (3), in consideration for the nonforfeiture of the
vehicle. This requirement applies only if the driver requests release
of the vehicle.

(3) A stipulated vehicle release agreement shall provide for the
consent of the signator to the automatic future forfeiture and
transfer of title to the state of any vehicle registered to that person,
if the vehicle is driven by a driver with a suspended or revoked
license, or by an unlicensed driver. The agreement shall be in effect
for only as long as it is noted on a driving record maintained by
the department pursuant to Section 1806.1.

(4) The stipulated vehicle release agreement described in
paragraph (3) shall be reported by the impounding agency to the
department not later than 10 days after the day the agreement is
signed.

(5) No vehicle shall be released pursuant to paragraph (2) if the
driving record of a registered owner indicates that a prior stipulated
vehicle release agreement was signed by that person.

(e) (1) The impounding agency, in the case of a vehicle that
has not been redeemed pursuant to subdivision (d), or that has not
been otherwise released, shall promptly ascertain from the
department the names and addresses of all legal and registered
owners of the vehicle.

(2) The impounding agency, within two days of impoundment,
shall send a notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to
all legal and registered owners of the vehicle, at the addresses
obtained from the department, informing them that the vehicle is
subject to forfeiture and will be sold or otherwise disposed of
pursuant to this section. The notice shall also include instructions
for filing a claim with the district attorney, and the time limits for
filing a claim. The notice shall also inform any legal owner of its
right to conduct the sale pursuant to subdivision (g). If a registered
owner was personally served at the time of impoundment with a
notice containing all the information required to be provided by
this paragraph, no further notice is required to be sent to a
registered owner. However, a notice shall still be sent to the legal
owners of the vehicle, if any. If notice was not sent to the legal
owner within two working days, the impounding agency shall not
charge the legal owner for more than 15-days’ impoundment when
the legal owner redeems the impounded vehicle.

(3) No processing charges shall be imposed on a legal owner
who redeems an impounded vehicle within 15 days of the
impoundment of that vehicle. If no claims are filed and served
within 15 days after the mailing of the notice in paragraph (2), or
if no claims are filed and served within five days of personal
service of the notice specified in paragraph (2), when no other
mailed notice is required pursuant to paragraph (2), the district
attorney shall prepare a written declaration of forfeiture of the
vehicle to the state. A written declaration of forfeiture signed by
the district attorney under this subdivision shall be deemed to
provide good and sufficient title to the forfeited vehicle. A copy
of the declaration shall be provided on request to any person
informed of the pending forfeiture pursuant to paragraph (2). A
claim that is filed and is later withdrawn by the claimant shall be
deemed not to have been filed.

(4) If a claim is timely filed and served, then the district attorney
shall file a petition of forfeiture with the appropriate juvenile or
superior court within 10 days of the receipt of the claim. The
district attorney shall establish an expedited hearing date in
accordance with instructions from the court, and the court shall
hear the matter without delay. The court filing fee of one hundred
dollars ($100) shall be paid by the claimant, but shall be reimbursed
by the impounding agency if the claimant prevails. To the extent
practicable, the civil and criminal cases shall be heard at the same
time in an expedited, consolidated proceeding. A proceeding in
the civil case is a limited civil case.

(5) The burden of proof in the civil case shall be on the
prosecuting agency, by a preponderance of the evidence. All
questions that may arise shall be decided and all other proceedings
shall be conducted as in an ordinary civil action. A judgment of
forfeiture does not require as a condition precedent the conviction
of a defendant of an offense which made the vehicle subject to
forfeiture. The filing of a claim within the time limits specified in
paragraph (3) is considered a jurisdictional prerequisite for the
availing of the action authorized by that paragraph.

(6) All right, title, and interest in the vehicle shall vest in the
state upon commission of the act giving rise to the forfeiture.

(7) The filing fee in paragraph (4) shall be distributed as follows:

(A) To the county law library fund as provided in Section 6320
of the Business and Professions Code, the amount specified in
Sections 6321 and 6322.1 of the Business and Professions Code.

(B) To the Trial Court Trust Fund, the remainder of the fee.

(f) Any vehicle impounded that is not redeemed pursuant to
subdivision (d) and is subsequently forfeited pursuant to this
section shall be sold once an order of forfeiture is issued by the
district attorney of the county of the impounding agency or a court,
as the case may be, pursuant to subdivision (e).

(g) Any legal owner who is a motor vehicle dealer, bank, credit
union, acceptance corporation, or other licensed financial institution
legally operating in this state, or the agent of that legal owner, may
take possession and conduct the sale of the forfeited vehicle if the
legal owner or agent notifies the agency impounding the vehicle
of its intent to conduct the sale within 15 days of the mailing of
the notice pursuant to subdivision (e). Sale of the vehicle after
forfeiture pursuant to this subdivision may be conducted at the
time, in the manner, and on the notice usually given for the sale
of repossessed or surrendered vehicles. The proceeds of any sale
conducted by or on behalf of the legal owner shall be disposed of
as provided in subdivision (i). A notice pursuant to this subdivision
may be presented in person, by certified mail, by facsimile
transmission, or by electronic mail.

(h) If the legal owner or agent of the owner does not notify the
agency impounding the vehicle of its intent to conduct the sale as
provided in subdivision (g), the agency shall offer the forfeited
vehicle for sale at public auction within 60 days of receiving title
to the vehicle. Low value vehicles shall be disposed of pursuant
to subdivision (k).

(i) The proceeds of a sale of a forfeited vehicle shall be disposed
of in the following priority:

(1) To satisfy the towing and storage costs following
impoundment, the costs of providing notice pursuant to subdivision
(e), the costs of sale, and the unfunded costs of judicial
proceedings, if any.

(2) To the legal owner in an amount to satisfy the indebtedness
owed to the legal owner remaining as of the date of sale, including
accrued interest or finance charges and delinquency charges,
providing that the principal indebtedness was incurred prior to the
date of impoundment.

(3) To the holder of any subordinate lien or encumbrance on
the vehicle, other than a registered or legal owner, to satisfy any
indebtedness so secured if written notification of demand is
received before distribution of the proceeds is completed. The
holder of a subordinate lien or encumbrance, if requested, shall
furnish reasonable proof of its interest and, unless it does so upon
request, is not entitled to distribution pursuant to this paragraph.

(4) To any other person, other than a registered or legal owner,
who can reasonably establish an interest in the vehicle, including
a community property interest, to the extent of his or her provable
interest, if written notification is received before distribution of
the proceeds is completed.

(5) Of the remaining proceeds, funds shall be made available
to pay any local agency and court costs, that are reasonably related
to the implementation of this section, that remain unsatisfied.

(6) Of the remaining proceeds, half shall be transferred to the
Controller for deposit in the Vehicle Inspection and Repair Fund
for the high-polluter repair assistance and removal program created
by Article 9 (commencing with Section 44090) of Chapter 5 of
Part 5 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, and half shall
be transferred to the general fund of the city or county of the
impounding agency, or the city or county where the impoundment
occurred. A portion of the local funds may be used to establish a
reward fund for persons coming forward with information leading
to the arrest and conviction of hit-and-run drivers and to publicize
the availability of the reward fund.

(j) The person conducting the sale shall disburse the proceeds
of the sale as provided in subdivision (i) and shall provide a written
accounting regarding the disposition to the impounding agency
and, on request, to any person entitled to or claiming a share of
the proceeds, within 15 days after the sale is conducted.

(k) If the vehicle to be sold pursuant to this section is not of the
type that can readily be sold to the public generally, the vehicle
shall be conveyed to a licensed dismantler or donated to an
eleemosynary institution. License plates shall be removed from
any vehicle conveyed to a dismantler pursuant to this subdivision.

(l) No vehicle shall be sold pursuant to this section if the
impounding agency determines the vehicle to have been stolen.
In this event, the vehicle may be claimed by the registered owner
at any time after impoundment, providing the vehicle registration
is current and the registered owner has no outstanding traffic
violations or parking penalties on his or her driving record or on
the registration record of any vehicle registered to the person. If
the identity of the legal and registered owners of the vehicle cannot
be reasonably ascertained, the vehicle may be sold.

(m) Any owner of a vehicle who suffers any loss due to the
impoundment or forfeiture of any vehicle pursuant to this section
may recover the amount of the loss from the unlicensed, suspended,
or revoked driver. If possession of a vehicle has been tendered to
a business establishment in good faith, and an unlicensed driver
employed or otherwise directed by the business establishment is
the cause of the impoundment of the vehicle, a registered owner
of the impounded vehicle may recover damages for the loss of use
of the vehicle from the business establishment.

(n) (1) The impounding agency, if requested to do so not later
than 10 days after the date the vehicle was impounded, shall
provide the opportunity for a poststorage hearing to determine the
validity of the storage to the persons who were the registered and
legal owners of the vehicle at the time of impoundment, except
that the hearing shall be requested within three days after the date
the vehicle was impounded if personal service was provided to a
registered owner pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) and
no mailed notice is required.

(2) The poststorage hearing shall be conducted not later than
two days after the date it was requested. The impounding agency
may authorize its own officer or employee to conduct the hearing
if the hearing officer is not the same person who directed the
storage of the vehicle. Failure of either the registered or legal owner
to request a hearing as provided in paragraph (1) or to attend a
scheduled hearing shall satisfy the poststorage hearing requirement.

(3) The agency employing the person who directed the storage
is responsible for the costs incurred for towing and storage if it is
determined that the driver at the time of impoundment had a valid
driver’s license.

(o) As used in this section, “days” means workdays not including
weekends and holidays.

(p) Charges for towing and storage for any vehicle impounded
pursuant to this section shall not exceed the normal towing and
storage rates for other vehicle towing and storage conducted by
the impounding agency in the normal course of business.

(q) The Judicial Council and the Department of Justice may
prescribe standard forms and procedures for implementation of
this section to be used by all jurisdictions throughout the state.

(r) The impounding agency may act as the agent of the state in
carrying out this section.

(s) No vehicle shall be impounded pursuant to this section if
the driver has a valid license but the license is for a class of vehicle
other than the vehicle operated by the driver.

(t) This section does not apply to vehicles subject to Sections
14608 and 14609, if there has been compliance with the procedures
in those sections.

(u) As used in this section, “district attorney” includes a city
attorney charged with the duty of prosecuting misdemeanor
offenses.

(v) The agent of a legal owner acting pursuant to subdivision
(g) shall be licensed, or exempt from licensure, pursuant to Chapter
11 (commencing with Section 7500) of Division 3 of the Business
and Professions Code.
