Description
Requires police officers issuing citations for failure to provide proof of insurance to also remove the vehicle’s license plates unless doing so would be dangerous or contrary to the interests of justice. Requires owners of vehicles with removed plates to obtain insurance within seven days or be subject to impoundment. Requires Highway Patrol Commissioner to adopt regulations and legislature to appropriate sufficient money to implement Act. Eliminates an exemption from the obligation to provide proof of insurance that would have applied to residents of Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2011. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Potential state and local law enforcement costs of several million dollars annually on a statewide basis. Ongoing state administrative costs of potentially several million dollars annually, partly offset by fee revenues. Potential, unknown increase in state tax revenue from vehicle insurance purchased by motorists. (Initiative 07-0086.) (Full Text)
