we have video of similar party buses and hill and the assemblyman says that ab-45 would mean if a minor is on board the bus company would require the person making the reservation to have an adult chaperone. if minors are drinking the trip is over. the driver could face penalties like a $2,000 fine. >> certainly don't expect him to take his eyes off the road or not be responsible in his driving, but it would have required him to at least pay attention, to know if there are minors on board, one, and two, if they were drinking. >> reporter: the chp says the driver involved in this weekend incident is cooperating with them. some in the party bus industry feel that all of these rules could distract the driver and be a burden. right now the bill is in the state senate. if if approved, though, it would go into effect january 1st, 2013. reporting live in san mateo, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> 5:34.

prosecution is proving this case without a body and as far as we know without a weapon and crime scene. the challenge for the defense he said, explaining how her dna ended up in garcia torres' car and his on her clothes. >> is there an innocent explanation for why her dna may be on sierra lamar's possession. and how much was located and how could it is been transferred in a way that doesn't equal murder. >> reporter: as i mentioned no body has been found. the klaas kids foundation is coordinating volunteer searches. those take place every wednesday and saturday. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> new this morning, a bay area family waking up thankful to be alive after flames swept through
