AI Summary
This bill would allow individuals to file a claim in small claims court against a public entity (state, county, or municipal) for damages to their motor vehicle's tire, rim, or both caused by a pothole on the roadway under the jurisdiction of that public entity. The existing law currently excludes such claims from being brought in small claims court, but this bill proposes to amend the law to create an exception for pothole-related vehicle damage claims.
