STATE UPDATE
California—Proposition 65: The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has proposed new SEMA-opposed Proposition 65 short-form warning rules. The proposed rules would require all short-form warnings to include at least one chemical on the label. This is a significant change from the current regulations, which allow businesses to use a generic short-form warning that does not identify any specific chemicals.
Those who follow politics know that by February, state legislatures across the United States are fully underway. This is an especially important topic for SEMA members who frequently want to know what our association is doing to effectively engage government leaders and bring about positive outcomes for our industry. Seeing an increase in legislative and regulatory overreach, many are concerned about the automotive specialty-equipment industry’s future.
