Governor Gavin Newsom Sept. 27 signed AB 2496 into law, requiring vehicle owners receiving “fix it” tickets for illegally modified, loud exhaust systems, to show “proof of compliance” the cars have been fixed.
Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Newport Beach, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department helped draft the bill authored by Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Irvine), saying it will improve the quality of life for residents, by lessening annoying noise.
