	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1763, Longville.  Vehicle registration:  exemption.
   Under existing law, a nonresident daily commuter who operates a
vehicle of a type that is subject to registration under the Vehicle
Code is allowed to operate the vehicle in this state under specified
conditions.
   This bill would specify that a nonresident daily commuter who is
in compliance with existing provisions of law that require the
display of nonresident daily commuter indicia and the possession of a
corresponding identification card,  may operate that vehicle in this
state for other lawful purposes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 6700.2 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:

   6700.2.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 4000.4, subdivision (a) of
Section 6700, or Section 6702, a nonresident daily commuter may
operate a motor vehicle on the highways of this state only if all of
the following conditions are met:
   (1) The motor vehicle is a passenger vehicle or a commercial
vehicle of less than 6,000 pounds unladen weight with not more than
two axles of the type commonly referred to as a pickup truck.
   (2) The motor vehicle is used regularly to transport passengers on
the highways of this state principally between, and to and from, the
place of residence in a contiguous state and the place of employment
in this state by the owner of the motor vehicle and for no other
business purpose.
   (3) The motor vehicle is not used in the course of a business
within this state, including the transportation of property other
than incidental personal property between, and to or from, the place
of residence in a contiguous state and the place of employment of the
motor vehicle owner in this state.
   (4) Nothing in paragraphs (2) and (3) prohibits a nonresident
daily commuter operating a motor vehicle that displays currently
valid external vehicle identification indicia and who possess a
corresponding identification card issued pursuant to Section 6700.25
from using that vehicle for other lawful purposes.
   (b) The exception to registration of a motor vehicle under the
conditions specified in this section does not supersede any other
exception to registration under other conditions provided by law.
   (c) This section does not apply to a resident of a foreign
country.
