This section defines terms used in the context of a motorcyclist safety program in California. 'Commissioner' refers to the head of the California Highway Patrol. 'Fund' refers to the California Motorcyclist Safety Fund, which presumably supports efforts to enhance motorcycle safety. 'Program' means the specific motorcyclist safety program established by the law.

This section establishes a safety program specifically for motorcyclists, which is managed by the California Highway Patrol under the guidance of the commissioner.

This law section allows the commissioner to partner with public or private organizations to promote motorcycle safety. They can fund projects, sponsor efforts to raise awareness among motorists about motorcyclists, and support research to effectively communicate motorcycle safety.

The commissioner can form an advisory committee with various stakeholders to create a comprehensive motorcycle safety program. Standards will be adopted for training courses, including content and instructor qualifications. Regular and premier motorcyclist safety training programs will have different standards, and costs for the premier programs won't be capped or state-funded after 2008.

This law states that the commissioner cannot personally provide program services; instead, these services must be delivered through contracts or grants. Any public agencies that help or provide these services will be fully reimbursed for their expenses. Additionally, the commissioner is required to supervise and assess these contracts or grants to ensure compliance by those receiving the funding.

This law establishes the California Motorcyclist Safety Fund, which is a special fund in the State Treasury. It outlines that the money in this fund is exclusively for funding motorcycle safety programs and related costs, as designated by the article. The legislature must approve any spending from this fund. Additionally, the commissioner cannot spend more money than what's already in the fund and cannot promise future funds as collateral.

This law mandates that when you first register or renew the registration of a motorcycle, you must pay an extra $2 fee along with any other required fees. This additional fee is then added to a specific fund.
