	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Yamada

                        FEBRUARY 23, 2009

   An act to amend Section 1793.05 of the Civil Code, relating to
vehicle warranties.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 393, as introduced, Yamada. Vehicle warranties: disabled
rights.
   Existing law requires any vehicle manufacturer who alters new
vehicles into housecars to, in addition to any new product warranty,
assume any warranty responsibility of the original vehicle
manufacturer for any and all components of the finished product that
are, by virtue of any act of the alterer, no longer covered by the
warranty issued by the original vehicle manufacturer.
   This bill would extend that warranty requirement to any vehicle
manufacturer who modifies new vehicles into vehicles useable by
persons with disabilities.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 1793.05 of the Civil Code is amended to read:
   1793.05.  Vehicle manufacturers who alter new vehicles into
housecars  or modify new vehicles for the purpose of making those
vehicles useable by persons with disabilities  shall, in
addition to any new product warranty, assume any warranty
responsibility of the original vehicle manufacturer for any and all
components of the finished product  which   that
 are, by virtue of any act of the alterer, no longer covered by
the warranty issued by the original vehicle manufacturer.
