   SB 382, as introduced, Lara. Crimes: uncertified highway carriers
of persons.
   Existing law makes it a crime for a person, individually or in
specified capacities, to sell, offer for sale, or to advertise
himself or herself as one who sells or offers for sale,
transportation on an individual fare basis on public highways, unless
the transportation is provided by a carrier that is properly
certified or permitted, as specified.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
