LOS ANGELES—City Councilwoman Imelda Padilla Jan. 9 introduced a motion seeking to align city law with state law in regard to vehicle cruising events.

On Jan. 1, Assembly Bill 436 went into effect, repealing the prohibition of cruising events across the state. Additionally, AB 436 removed a provision that barred a common modification made to cars, allowing vehicles to ride low to the ground, called “low riding.”
