(a) (1) Every car rental agency in California shall inform
each of its customers of Section 27360 by posting, in a place
conspicuous to the public in each established place of business of
the agency, a notice not smaller than 15 by 20 inches which states
the following:  "CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES ALL CHILDREN UNDER 6 YEARS
OF AGE WHO WEIGH LESS THAN 60 POUNDS TO BE TRANSPORTED IN THE BACK
SEAT OF THE VEHICLE IN A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM.  THIS AGENCY IS
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FOR RENTAL A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF YOU DO NOT
HAVE A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM YOURSELF."
   (2) The posted notice specified in paragraph (1) is not required
if the car rental agency's place of business is located in a hotel
that has a business policy prohibiting the posting of signs or
notices in any area of the hotel.  In that case, a car rental agency
shall furnish a written notice to each customer that contains the
same information as required for the posted notice.
   (b) Every car rental agency in California shall have available
for, and shall, upon request, provide for rental to, adults traveling
with children under six years of age, child passenger restraint
systems that are certified by the manufacturer to meet applicable
federal motor vehicle safety standards for use by children weighing
60 pounds or less, are in good and safe condition, with no missing
original parts, and are not older than five years.
   (c) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a
fine of one hundred dollars ($100).
