LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law generally regulates the equipment required on vehicles, including equipment related to towing and carrying loads. Existing law requires that a vehicle primarily used for the transportation of workers be equipped with securely fastened seats, a railing or other enclosure, and steps, stirrups, or similar devices to aid in boarding and deboarding.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
