      s 13-1216. Transportation of Property.

      The following requirements govern the transportation of hazardous 
      materials and other property on buses and farm labor vehicles:

      (a) Hazardous Materials. Motor carriers and drivers shall not transport, 
      or knowingly permit passengers to carry, any hazardous material as defined 
      in Vehicle Code Section 353. These restrictions shall not apply to:

      (1) Oxygen medically prescribed for, and in the possession of, a passenger 
      and in a container designed for personal use.

      (2) Personal-use articles in the immediate possession of a driver or 
      passenger.

      (3) Hazardous materials transported in a bus (except a school bus, SPAB, 
      or youth bus) subject to federal jurisdiction and in compliance with the 
      applicable provisions of 49 CFR Part 177.

      (b) Fuel. Fuel shall not be transported except in the vehicle's regular 
      fuel tanks.

      (c) General Property. Drivers and motor carriers shall not permit any 
      greater quantity of freight, express, or baggage in vehicles than can be 
      safely and conveniently carried without causing discomfort or unreasonable 
      annoyance to passengers. In no event shall aisles, doors, steps, or 
      emergency exits be blocked.

      (d) Animals. A driver or motor carrier may refuse to transport dogs or 
      other animals except as provided in Civil Code Section 54.2. When 
      transported upon a bus engaged in public passenger transportation, all 
      other animals shall be muzzled or securely crated to eliminate the 
      possibility of injury to passengers. No animals except those specified in 
      Civil Code Section 54.2 shall be transported in a school bus, SPAB, or 
      youth bus. In such cases, the driver may determine whether the animal 
      should be muzzled.

      (e) Tools in Farm Labor Vehicles. All cutting tools or tools with sharp 
      edges carried in the passenger compartment of a farm labor vehicle shall 
      be placed in covered containers. All other tools, equipment, or materials 
      carried in the passenger compartment shall be secured to the body of the 
      vehicle.

      (f) Wheelchairs. Wheelchairs transported on buses, except school buses, 
      shall meet the following requirements:

      (1) Brakes. The wheelchair shall have brakes or other effective mechanical 
      means of holding it stationary during raising and lowering of a wheelchair 
      platform.

      (2) Batteries. Batteries used to propel wheelchairs shall be spill 
      resistant or in a spill resistant container and shall be securely attached 
      to the wheelchair.

      (3) Flammable Fuel. The wheelchair shall not use flammable fuel.
