	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 601, as introduced, Yamada. Vehicles: transfer of interest:
power of attorney.
   Existing law defines the owner of a vehicle as the owner of record

California and includes an agent of that owner acting under a valid
power of attorney executed by an owner.
   This bill would authorize an active duty member of the United
States Armed Forces as the owner, coowner, owner of record,
registered owner, or legal owner of a vehicle to execute a valid
military power of attorney approved by the United States Department
of Defense for the purpose of using, operating, titling, or
transferring his or her interest in or licensing and registering any
vehicle in this state.
   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.  Section 5600.1 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
   5600.1.  An active duty member of the United States Armed Forces
as the owner, coowner, owner of record, registered owner, or legal
owner of a vehicle may execute a valid military power of attorney
approved by the United States Department of Defense for the purpose
of using, operating, titling, or transferring his or her interest in,
or licensing and registering any vehicle in this state.
