Bills mark text to be deleted and to be added in ways that do not pass through cut and paste. What that said after deleting text to be deleted is:

21462. The driver of a vehicle, the person in charge of an animal and the operator of a streetcar shall obey the instructions of an official traffic signal applicable to the person and placed as provided by law, unless otherwise directed by a police or traffic officer or when it is necessary for the purpose of avoiding a collision or in case of other emergency, subject to the exemptions granted by Section 21055. [Which are exemptions for emergency vehicles]

(b) This section does not relieve a pedestrian from the duty of using due care for their safety. No pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. An immediate hazard exists if the approaching vehicle is so near or is approaching so fast that a reasonably careful person would realize that there is a danger of collision. No pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.

However the most important part was left off, as well as all the text listing the driver responsibilities.

SEC. 6. Section 21955 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:

21955. Notwithstanding any other law, a pedestrian shall not be subject to a fine or criminal penalty for crossing or entering a roadway when no cars are present.
