LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law generally prescribes the equipment required on a motor vehicle for a vehicle to be lawfully operated upon a highway. Existing law prohibits a person from renting a vehicle, as specified, unless the vehicle is equipped as required by law and is mechanically safe and sound to operate. Existing law authorizes the Department of the California Highway Patrol to inspect the vehicles and business premises of a person engaged in the rental of vehicles for
compliance with these provisions.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
