Bill > AB999

This bill proposes a minor, nonsubstantive amendment to Section 21709 of the California Public Utilities Code regarding skydiving and sport parachuting operations. Specifically, the bill makes a small linguistic change in subsection (b), replacing the word "does" with "shall" when describing legal duties. The existing law already requires owners and operators of skydiving or sport parachuting operations to ensure that the parachutist in command of a tandem jump and the parachute rigger responsible for packing the parachute comply with all federal laws related to parachute safety and certification, to the extent permitted by federal law. The proposed change does not substantively alter the legal requirements or responsibilities of skydiving operators, but appears to be a technical correction to the language of the statute. The bill maintains the existing requirement that the amendment does not decrease any legal duties associated with skydiving and parachuting operations.
