Bill	Golf carts: City of La Verne.	Existing law authorizes a local agency to designate a highway under its jurisdiction, generally not to exceed one mile in length, that is located adjacent to, or provides access to, a golf course and related facilities, for the combined use of regular vehicular traffic and golf carts. Existing law also authorizes a city or county to adopt a golf cart transportation plan, under which separated golf cart lanes are to be developed and constructed in the plan area. Existing law, until January 1, 2016, provides an exemption from the separated golf cart lane requirement for street and highway segments in the City of La Verne that, among other requirements, have a speed limit of 25 miles per hour or less and are immediately adjacent to or surrounded by the campus of a university or a retirement community, if the city council makes specified findings.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20152016	AB 173	California AB 173 (20152016)	bill	Golf carts: City of La Verne.	enacted	Holden	4	17	4	2015-01-22	2015-07-13	openstates	ocd-bill/d1c6bf46-2e0c-42ea-9aa0-c730016c0eaf	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB173	23cf0304ee58c56b54240c8fdc2cfd437947419d762e044df808e3a0a5dafdf5	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
