Thank goodness for SEMA and their relentless efforts.
Lobbying often gets a bad rep but this is a case where lobbying did the people a favor.
The draconian move to eliminate the "correctable" status of exhaust tickets was flawed and was nothing more than an attempted quick money-grab by the State of California whilst violating the rights of motorists.
Very glad to hear SEMA was able to knock some sense into CA legislators.
Now of course SEMA also has an interest to do so, otherwise the aftermarket industry would be negatively affected, but there's nothing wrong with a win-win situation (i.e., aftermarket continues to thrive, motorists/car enthusiasts are restored some rights).
