§ 1263.2. Charter Party Carrier Bus Safety.
(a) Emergency lighting fixtures. Motor carriers shall not operate any bus designed to carry 39 passengers or more including the driver, manufactured on or after July 1, 2020, and described in Section 5363(1)(b) of the Public Utilities Code, unless the bus is properly equipped and in compliance with the following requirements:
(2) Emergency lighting fixtures shall be permanently mounted in locations throughout the interior of the bus in a manner which does not interfere with passenger ingress, egress, or comfort, including egress through required emergency exits. The fixtures shall not have sharp edges or protrusions which may cause injury to passengers or damage to property.
(5) Emergency lighting fixtures shall automatically illuminate when the bus is involved in any incident in which the bus rolls over, is impacted by any object, or is involved in any collision, at any angle, when that impact or collision exerts a force of greater than 5 times the force of gravity on any passenger or the driver, or exceeds the equivalent of a 10 mile per hour impact of the bus versus any stationary object.
(7) In addition to automatic illumination requirements, emergency lights may be illuminated manually by the driver or any person within the driver's compartment. Notwithstanding manual illumination, if the bus is involved in any incident outlined in subdivision (a)(5), the lights shall illuminate automatically and remain illuminated without manual intervention.
