Remember
California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash.
Legislation was introduced to repeal the new exhaust law:

Both assemblymen are members of the SEMA-supported State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus and have previously attended the SEMA Show. Assemblyman Frazier is the Chair of the Committee on Transportation.
Signed by then-Governor Jerry Brown in June of 2018, A.B. 1824 amended how excess exhaust noise violations are treated by law enforcement. Pursuant to the law, a vehicle cited for violating exhaust noise laws no longer receive what is known as a “fix-it” ticket. Instead, violations now result in an immediate fine. A.B. 390 would re-institute law enforcement’s discretion to issue “fix-it” tickets.
So the new bill to repeal the old bill is currently awaiting committee assignment and it must undergo a 30-day waiting period before being considered.
Let's hope the new bill A.B. 390 passes but knowing California they will just bring in another bill to fleece citizens another way.
