CaliforniaBasic Inspection of Terminals program: agricultural vehicles.
What it does
Existing law, the Basic Inspection of Terminals (BIT) program, makes it unlawful for a motor carrier to operate specified vehicles, such as motortrucks of 3 or more axles that are more than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, truck tractors, or other motortrucks regulated by the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Public Utilities Commission, or the United States Secretary of Transportation, without identifying to the Department of Motor Vehicles all terminals, as defined, where the vehicle may be inspected by the department and where vehicle inspection and maintenance records and driver records will be made available for inspection. Existing law, until January 1, 2026, excludes an agricultural vehicle, as defined, from being subject to the BIT program.
More detail
This bill would extend the exemption of agricultural vehicles from the BIT program until January 1, 2031.
Under existing law, the Department of the California Highway Patrol, in consultation with the Department of Motor Vehicles, on or before January 1, 2022, shall report to the Governor and the Legislature about the impact of excluding an agricultural vehicle, as defined, from being subject to the BIT program. The report shall include, but is not limited to, information about collisions involving excluded vehicles and any traffic safety issues associated with excluded vehicles. The report shall be submitted pursuant to Section 9795 of the Government Code.
This bill would delete this obsolete provision.
