Lunardi Claims Motoring Needs Not Being Adequately Served SACRAMENTO --"The needs of California's motoring public are not being adequately served by current commerw eights at the time it was enacted and the vast majority of eligible vehicles could meet the weight requirevehicles the right to pay weight fees and obtain commercial plates, and these provisions tend to discourage mony at a recent committee hearing in which he outlined several phases of the problem that his bill was designed to meet and correct. He stated less than 3, 000 pounds should be able to pay a registration weight fee and be issued commercial plates permitting them use of parking and loadcommercial violation penalties. In concluding his presentation, Assemblyman Lunardi cited figures illustrating that \will be enacted into law by 1963 Session of the Legislature. James T.

" For this reason, the Sixth District legislator introduced A. B. 1805 during the 1961 Session in an attempt to establish morerational categories and more equitable treatment of all commercial vehicle operators. The bill would ‘permit discretionary payment of vehicle weight fees for smaller vehicles intended for commercial use, and is now under study by the Assembly Interim Committee on Transthe people in the elevencounty Sierra Nevada District
he represents, is that of sportsmen and campers in towing their rigs. There have been severalinstances of citations on the basis that recreation seekers were towing boats with a pickup without a commercial license. On the other hand, ifthat pickup or station wagon, for example, were licensed commercially, it could not enter any State Park because park regulations prohibit commercially operated vehicles. A second area of controversy involving commercial vehicle weight fee schedule currently operative, is that of parking on city streets. Luncated problem is that of defining just what is “use incidental to the transportation of passengers," Exactly where do enforcement officers draw the line as to what a comercial-type vehicle used exclusively for transporting passengers may haul in addition to passengers? Unpopular and unreasonable enforcement and judicial interpretations have been handed down in different localities in California. The current law isimprecise and leadsto a lack of uniformity of application. Lunardi pointed out another reason for his bill was to correct inequities in non-commercial hauling regulations so homeowners could transwith 103,844 such registrations in 1961, Out of this’ total, over 25,000 were the so-called economy units, “Californians utilizing this type vehicle should be permitted to license them as commercial vehicles when they are used for this purpose, " he stated. This would not only satisfy the need for equal opportunity for vehicle use, but would provide additional revenue beneficialto the state.
