	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 875, as amended, Price.  Rental vehicles. 
 Real estate licensees.  
   Existing law, the Real Estate Law, provides for the licensure and
regulation of real estate brokers and real estate salespersons by the
Department of Real Estate. Existing law authorizes the department to
deny, suspend, or revoke a license on various grounds using
specified procedures generally applicable to state agencies. Under
existing law, a hearing to determine whether to issue a license must
be initiated by filing a statement of issues. Existing law provides
additional procedures with respect to certain licensing boards,
including, among other things, the authority to notify an applicant
that the application is denied in lieu of filing a statement of
issues, as specified.  
   This bill would require the Department of Real Estate to use those
additional procedures when denying a license or a license
endorsement and would also delete an obsolete provision. 

   Existing law authorizes a rental vehicle fuel gauge installed by a
vehicle's manufacturer to be used in a rental transaction by a
rental company to calculate an optional charge for fueling, under
specified circumstances.  
   This bill would provide that the provision applies to passenger
and nonpassenger vehicle rental transactions by a rental company made
on or after January 1, 2000. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
