5355.5
. (a) "Chartering party" means the person, corporation, or
other entity that prearranges with a charter-party carrier of
passengers for transportation services.
(b) "Designee" means a person who is 25 years of age or older and
who is designated by the chartering party as being the person
responsible for compliance with the requirements of Section 5384.1
during the provision of transportation services whenever persons
under 21 years of age are to be transported unaccompanied by a parent
or legal guardian. If the chartering party is a person and the minor
is not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, the chartering
party shall be the designee unless the chartering party identifies
another person to be the designee and the person so designated
acknowledges and agrees that he or she is the designee. If there is
more than one chartering party for a joint carriage of passengers,
each chartering party shall designate a designee who is responsible
for compliance with the requirements of Section 5384.1 whenever
persons under 21 years of age are to be transported unaccompanied by
a parent or legal guardian, and that person shall be the designee
only for those passengers provided with transportation services on
behalf of that chartering party.
