Section 1674.6 Of Article 2. Powers And Duties From California Vehicle Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 2.
1674.6
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that persons should
be provided with transportation alternatives when their privilege to
drive is lost because of failure to pass visual tests or written or
behind-the-wheel driving tests. While a partial obligation for
addressing this issue rests with families, communities, social
service agencies, and local governments, the Legislature recognizes
an obligation to promote, facilitate, and share in the funding of
alternative modes of transportation for persons who have lost their
driving privilege.
(b) Accordingly, it is the intent of the Legislature, not later
than January 1, 2003, to provide an affordable and equitable mode of
transportation to fulfill the reasonable transportation needs of
persons who have lost their driver's licenses due to a failure to
pass a visual test or a written or behind-the-wheel driving test.
(c) In furtherance of the intent set forth in subdivision (b), the
Business, Transportation and Housing Agency shall establish a task
force to analyze potential sources of funding and modes of
transportation for persons who have lost their driver's licenses due
to a failure to pass a visual test or a written or behind-the-wheel
driving test. The Business, Transportation and Housing Agency shall
prepare and submit a report on the findings of the task force to the
Legislature not later than July 1, 2001.
