SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 1506 (Moore)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in OPPOSITION TO AB 1506 by Assemblywoman Gwen Moore which would restrict the
ability of local governments to impose regulations on the operation of limousines for hire on airport property.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law the governing body of a publicly operated airport may generally enter into exclusive or
limited agreements with operators of goods and services or facilities furnished at or to the airport.
AB 1506 would prohibit the governing body of any airport from requiring from any charter-party carrier of
passengers any license or permit in addition to those required by the Public Utilities Commission, except for an
airport license or permit to operate on the airport. The bill would prohibit airport operators from enforcing any
regulations applicable to charter-party carriers other than those adopted by the Public Utilities Commission.
The bill would authorize airports to adopt and enforce reasonable and non-discriminatory local airport rules,
regulations and ordinances.
The Manager of Airports notes that enactment of AB 1506 could have the effect of preventing airports from
establishing what the airport considers reasonable standards for businesses. Airports would be prohibited from
setting limits on the number of commercial limousine operators that may do business on the airport property.
The airport would also, for instance, be prohibited from requiring a limousine operator from carrying more
liability insurance than the amount which is required currently by the Public Utilities Commission, which we
understand to be $300,000 general liability.
The Manager of Airports recommends that the Board of Supervisors oppose AB 1506 as an unnecessary restric-
tion on the right of the County to operate the airport as a business. AB 1506, at the time of this writing, was in
the Senate Appropriations Committee.
