ASSEMBLY BILL 1650 (ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION – 1999)

CHAPTER 724, STATUTES OF 1999, AB 1650

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Numerous sections relating to transportation in the Government Code, Public Contract Code, Public Utilities Code, Penal Code, Revenue and Taxation Code, Streets and Highways Code, and Vehicle Code were affected in 1999 following legislative passage of Assembly Bill 1650. (See Exhibit #1i)  This omnibus bill was introduced by the Assembly Committee on Transportation on March 8, 1999.  (See Exhibit #1a)

Assembly Bill 1650 was assigned to the Assembly Committee on Transportation and the Senate Committee on Transportation where policy issues raised by the bill were considered.  (See Exhibits #3 and #7)  The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Assembly Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Appropriations.  (See Exhibits #5 and #9)  Seven amendments were made to Assembly Bill 1650.  (See Exhibits #1b through #1h and #2)  Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor Gray Davis signed the bill on October 7, 1999, and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on October 10, 1999 as Chapter 724 of the Statutes of 1999.  (See Exhibit #1i and #2)
 

The Third Reading analysis of Assembly Bill 1650 as last amended described Assembly Bill 1650 as follows:

This bill is a “committee bill” and is intended to deal efficiently with several minor, noncontroversial transportation issues by making technical and clarifying changes and repealing obsolete statutory provisions. . . .
