Motor club service is the rendering or procuring of, or reimbursement for, any of the services defined in this chapter to any person in connection with the ownership, operation, use, or maintenance of a motor vehicle, including a vacation trailer, house or otherwise, or a boat capable of ordinary transportation on a trailer and its trailer, by the person upon any of the following considerations:

(a) The person is or will become a member of the club rendering or furnishing the service.

(b) The person is or will become in any manner affiliated with the club.

(c) The person is or will become entitled to receive membership or other motor club service from the club by virtue of any agreement or understanding with any club.

This section shall not authorize a motor club to furnish any service on a reimbursement basis that constitutes the transaction of insurance. The commissioner may make reasonable rules and regulations specifying services that constitute the transaction of insurance for the purposes of this part and which may not be offered on a reimbursement basis. Rules and regulations shall be adopted, amended, and repealed in accordance with Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
