Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 5 mixed.

Treasure Island congestion fees and parking

San Francisco may charge congestion fees for vehicles entering or leaving Treasure Island via the Bay Bridge, by a two‑thirds vote after the transportation agency recommends it. The first fees cannot start until the Treasure Island redevelopment agreement takes effect, and the Board must find by two‑thirds vote that the fees benefit paying drivers. High‑occupancy vehicles may always enter and exit free. The transportation agency can also set and collect parking fees, fines, transit pass fees, and other charges. All revenue must stay in the program to fund transit, operations, maintenance, and mitigation. While fees are in effect, property sales or leases on Treasure Island must disclose that driving to and from the island may face congestion charges.

Truck driver hours and exceptions

Intrastate truck drivers face a 12‑hour maximum driving time in a work period. For tank vehicles over 500 gallons carrying flammable liquid, the driving limit is 10 hours. No one may drive after 80 hours on duty in any consecutive eight days, and carriers cannot allow it. During a Governor‑declared emergency, regulators may let drivers exceed limits to move fuel used to refuel emergency aircraft under state or U.S. contracts. Utility employees driving utility vehicles, and directly hired contractors and subcontractors restoring utility service during an emergency, are exempt but must keep and carry duty‑status records. The law defines an “emergency” as a sudden danger threatening life, health, property, or essential services, such as fires, floods, earthquakes, riots, or severe weather.

Safety tech allowed on big rigs

Operators of listed commercial vehicles may install federally defined safety technology if the vehicle otherwise meets the federal mounting and visibility standards. This lets fleets add safety systems while staying compliant.

Duplicate and damaged license rules

If your license is lost, destroyed, or damaged, or you change your true full name, you must get a duplicate. Minors must show permission from a parent, guardian, or custodian. If you find your old license after getting a duplicate, you must destroy the original. If the DMV notifies you that your license is mutilated, you must surrender it within 10 days. If you get a duplicate after an address change, you must destroy the prior license.

Dashcam and driver recording rules

Vehicles with a video event recorder must post a visible notice that conversations may be recorded. The device may save no more than 30 seconds before and 30 seconds after a triggering event. The registered owner or lessee owns the recordings and may disable the device. If you drive for hire, your employer must give you unedited copies of requested recordings free within five days. Approved mounting spots on the windshield are allowed.

Windshield and window film rules

You may not drive with anything on your windshield or windows that blocks a clear view. You may mount a toll/CHP device in a 5‑inch square at the center top, and a portable GPS in the lower corners (7‑inch far side or 5‑inch near side), outside airbag zones, for navigation use. Clear material is allowed across the top of the windshield if its bottom edge is at least 29 inches above the undepressed driver’s seat and it does not add glare, red/amber color, or opaque letters. Clear, colorless film is allowed on front side windows if the film is at least 88% visible‑light‑transmitting, the window with film meets federal standard FMVSS No. 205 (including at least 70% VLT and AS‑14 abrasion), and you carry the installer or maker’s certificate; torn or bubbled film must be replaced. If you have a medical need to avoid UV, you may apply clear film to windshield, side, or rear windows with at least 88% VLT and FMVSS No. 205 compliance, with a dermatologist’s certificate.

New seats on regional rail board

The Tri‑Valley–San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority board now includes one representative from each listed city, county, and transit agency. Members include BART and cities such as Dublin, Livermore, Tracy, Mountain House, and others, plus Alameda and San Joaquin Counties and regional transit bodies.
