Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill to give California drivers an extra month to update their vehicle registrations before being pulled over by law enforcement for expired plates.

The new law, which takes effect July 1, 2024, and ends Jan. 1, 2030, aims to help communities of color, who are stopped more often for small violations, according to the bill’s supporters.
