                        ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION


                                 Jim Frazier, Chair


          AB 2906  
          (Committee on Transportation) - As Introduced March 7, 2016


          SUBJECT:  Transportation:  omnibus bill


          SUMMARY:  Makes various technical and non-substantive changes to  
          provisions of law related to transportation.  Specifically, this  
          bill:  


          1)Repeals a duplicative reference to the commemorative 1984  
            Olympic reflectorized license plates program.


          2)Makes a number of minor changes to bring existing law into  
            conformance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Standards for  
            commercial vehicles and vehicles transporting hazardous  
            materials.


          3)Corrects an inconsistency in terms used to describe a "parking  
            invoice fee."


          4)Clarifies that a vehicle parked on a roadway with an adjacent  
            curb or class IV bikeway must be within 18 inches of the curb  
            or edge of the class IV bikeway.

          transportation.


          FISCAL EFFECT:  Unknown


          COMMENTS:  The Assembly Committee on Transportation is authoring  
          this year's transportation omnibus bill as a cost-effective way  
          of making a number of minor, non-controversial changes to  
          statute at one time.  There is no known opposition to any of the  
          items in the bill.  If issues arise that cannot be resolved, the  
          provision of concern will be deleted from the bill.
