issued by the Public Utilities Commission pursuant to the former Chapter 7 (commencing with\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 5101) of Division 2 of the Public Utilities Code\u00a0<\/span>, that are valid and effective on the operative date of this chapter, shall remain in effect, subject to the provisions of this chapter, for a period of not more than two years after the operative date of this

transportation of, household goods and personal effects or any related services. \u2002A person who utilizes the services of a household mover operating in violation of subdivision (a) may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in this state to recover all compensation paid to that household mover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(c)\u2002The operation of a motor

remove any motor vehicle located within the territorial limits in which the officer may act, when the vehicle is found upon a highway and is being used in a manner constituting a public nuisance. \u2002At the request of the bureau, the Attorney General, or a district attorney, city attorney, or county counsel, the law enforcement agency may impound the vehicle for a period not to exceed 72 hours to enable the requesting agency to abate the public nuisance, to obtain an order from the superior court of the county in which the vehicle has been impounded to prevent the use of the motor

in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 19245\u00a0<\/span>, upon the request of the consignor or consignee. \u2002If that person fails to release the household goods and personal effects, any peace
