About this statute

This part is named the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Act and may be cited by that name. The Legislature states that the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority needs broader transportation measures to address traffic congestion and improve roads, highways, and other transportation facilities. The provision says a transit district needs to be established in Santa Clara County. The Santa Clara County Transit District is renamed the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and existing references to the old name are treated as references to the new name. A municipal corporation that provides broadband Internet access services must comply with the requirements of a specified Government Code article.

However, a vessel which is under the burden of five tons net register but is 30 or more feet in length is not a “vessel” for the purpose of this section if it is used to provide ship-to-shore services by which stores, supplies, spares, passengers, or crew of oceangoing ships are transported to or from ship and shore and payment for such services is made by, or arranged through, the oceangoing shipping company (commonly referred to as water taxi services).

This subsection shall apply only in the case of commodities, in bulk which are loaded and carried without wrappers or containers and received and delivered by the carrier without transportation mark or count. For the purposes of this subsection two or more vessels while navigated as a unit shall be considered to be a single vessel. (c) Nothing in this code shall apply to the transportation by water of liquid cargoes in bulk in tank vessels designed for use exclusively in such service. (d) Any person or corporation lawfully engaged in business in the transportation of persons or property during the entire one-year period preceding March 1, 1993, and continuously thereafter, and which, solely by virtue of the amendment to subdivision (a) made by the act that adds this subdivision, will become subject to commission regulation as a common carrier by vessel, shall file with the commission, prior to March 1, 1994, an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to operate as a common carrier by vessel. However, in lieu of all other fees required by law, the applicant shall pay a fee of fifty dollars ($50). The commission shall issue the certificate without further proceedings authorizing operation over the specific routes or within the specific area which conforms to proof of actual service in the transportation of persons or property as produced by the applicant with respect to its operations during the entire one-year period preceding March 1, 1993, and continuously thereafter.

(B) Requires a broadband connection from the user’s location. (C) Permits a user generally to receive a call that originates on the public switched telephone network and to terminate a call to the public switched telephone network. (2) A service that uses ordinary customer premises equipment with no enhanced functionality that originates and terminates on the public switched telephone network, undergoes no net protocol conversion, and provides no enhanced functionality to end users due to the provider’s use of Internet Protocol technology is not a VoIP service. (b) “Internet Protocol enabled service” or “IP enabled service” means any service, capability, functionality, or application using existing Internet Protocol, or any successor Internet Protocol, that enables an end user to send or receive a communication in existing Internet Protocol format, or any successor Internet Protocol format through a broadband connection, regardless of whether the communication is voice, data, or video.

(a) The Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act (Public Law 106-252) was enacted for the purpose of establishing nationwide uniform sourcing rules for the imposition of state and local taxes, fees, and surcharges on mobile telecommunications services. In order to establish a single, uniform sourcing rule, the federal act partially preempted state and local law imposing taxes, fees, and surcharges on a mobile telecommunications services customer whose place of primary use is outside of the state in which the state and local taxes, fees, or surcharges are imposed. (b) In accordance with the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act, which is incorporated herein by reference, and notwithstanding Sections 275.6, 276.5, 280, 431, 879, and 2881, the surcharges or fees under these sections do not apply to any charges for mobile telecommunications services billed to a customer where those services are provided, or deemed provided, to a customer whose place of primary use is outside this state. Mobile telecommunications services shall be deemed provided by a customer’s home service provider to the customer if those services are provided in a taxing jurisdiction to the customer, and the charges for those services are billed by or for the customer’s home service provider. (c) For purposes of this section: (1) “Charges for mobile telecommunications services” means any charge for, or associated with, the provision of commercial mobile radio service, as defined in Section 216.8, or any charge for, or associated with, a service provided as an adjunct to a commercial mobile radio service, that is billed to the customer by or for the customer’s home service provider, regardless of whether individual transmissions originate or terminate within the licensed service area of a home service provider. (2) “Customer” means either (A) the person or entity that contracts with the home service provider for mobile telecommunications services, or (B) if the end user of mobile telecommunications services is not the contracting party, the end user of the mobile telecommunications service. This paragraph applies only for the purpose of determining the place of primary use. The term “customer” does not include either (A) a reseller of mobile telecommunications service, or (B) a serving carrier under an arrangement to serve the customer outside the home service provider’s licensed service area. (3) “Home service provider” means the facilities-based carrier or reseller with which the customer contracts for the provision of mobile telecommunications services. (4) “Licensed service area” means the geographic area in which the home service provider is authorized by law or contract to provide commercial mobile radio service to the customer. (5) “Mobile telecommunications service” means commercial mobile radio service, as defined in Section 216.8. (6) “Place of primary use” means the street address representative of where the customer’s use of the mobile telecommunications service primarily occurs, that must be: (A) The residential street address or the primary business street address of the customer. (B) Within the licensed area of the home service provider. (7) (A) “Reseller” means a provider who purchases telecommunications services from another telecommunications service provider and then resells the services, or uses the services as a component part of, or integrates the purchased services into a mobile telecommunications service. (B) “Reseller” does not include a serving carrier with which a home service provider arranges for the services to its customers outside the home service provider’s licensed service area. (8) “Serving carrier” means a facilities-based carrier providing mobile telecommunications service to a customer outside a home service provider’s or reseller’s licensed area. (9) “Taxing jurisdiction” means any of the several states, the District of Columbia, or any territory or possession of the United States, any municipality, city, county, township, parish, transportation district, or assessment jurisdiction, or any other political subdivision within the territorial limits of the United States with the authority to impose a tax, charge, or fee.
