((Crohn– A California legislator proposes fines of $ 10,000 to companies that make and sell a license plate covers, which allow drivers to avoid, costing millions of state in the missing revenues.
Catterine Stefani, a member of San Francisco, recently introduced the 1085 assembly bill, which aims to enhance the enforcement of illegal covers of the licensing panel covers and legal gaps by prohibiting colored, shaded, or in the style of Zuba. The bill also seeks the welfare of companies that make and sell covers of $ 10,000 per unit.
“These devices have become a tool for law,” Stephanie said. “It is linked to vehicles, theft and evasion – which undermines public safety and costs millions of state in lost transportation revenues. This law guarantees that implementation can keep pace with the technology designed for deception.”
Stephanie said that these illegal covers are sold online and in California’s local retail stores for less than $ 20. Some products are marketed even as ways to avoid fees, red light cameras and parking tickets.
California’s highway patrol released more than 1,300 quotes of illegal licensing songs in 2024. Bell’s sponsor and state policy manager in the streets of all Mark Foxivic said that the covers of the panels make California roads more dangerous.
“Vegetables of the portal of the licensing plate are at risk by enabling the reckless behavior that undermines our ability to hold dangerous drivers accountable,” said Foxivic. “This law takes a strong position against the production of these devices, which sends a clear message that giving priority to street safety on profits is not negotiable. By increasing penalties for those who make these devices, we take an important step towards infantry protection, cyclists, and drivers alike, ensuring the most safety streets for everyone.”
AB1085 is scheduled to be discussed during the association’s policy committees this month.
