I've been following this legislation closely, from its journey through the California Legislature to becoming law.
I'm also now connected with the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), which gives me another resource for getting answers to questions about this legislation.
If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll do my best to reach out to my contacts at SEMA and help find accurate information.
My goal is to help California vehicle owners understand what's changing, how these changes may affect them, and what they need to know moving forward.
