Hon.
Ben Hueso, Chair Senate Energy, Utilities& Communications Committee State
Capitol, Room 2209 Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Chair Hueso,
AB 2763, presented by Assembly Member Gatto, changes the
definition of a “Personal Vehicle” in 5431 to mean the opposite of the ordinary
meaning of term “Personal Vehicle.”
Instead of being a vehicle that is owned by a ‘Participating Driver” to use “in connection with a transportation network
company’s online-enabled application or platform to connect with passengers”;” a
“Personal Vehicle” becomes any vehicle
that is “owned, leased, rented, or
otherwise authorized for use for any period of time by the participating driver … that is not a
taxicab or a limo.”
Thus “Personal” comes to mean “any
or all.”
