Summary

AB 815 adds a new section to the Insurance Code that prevents a motor vehicle covered by an automobile liability policy from being labeled a common carrier, commercial, for‑hire, permissive‑use, or livery vehicle solely because the insured uses it to provide public social services or social‑service transportation. The rule applies to any vehicle insured under Sections 11580.1 or 11580.2 and does not change any employer’s existing obligations.
