   SB 1231, as introduced, Hueso. Charter-party carriers of

   The Passenger Charter-party Carriers' Act, with certain

Public Utilities Commission to obtain a specified certificate or
permit, as appropriate, from the commission, subject to various
requirements. The act defines a charter-party carrier of passengers
as every person engaged in the transportation of persons by motor
vehicle for compensation, whether in common or contract carriage,
over any public highway in this state and includes any person,
corporation, or other entity engaged in the provision of a hired
driver service when a rented motor vehicle is being operated by a
hired driver.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would address consumer protection with respect to
charter-party carriers of passengers.
   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that will address consumer protection with respect to
