September 24, 20125 Comments on Dumb question on California 3 foot legislation
Update: I heard from the California Bicycle Coalition that the deadline is September 30.
California SB 1464, which mandates a minimum 3 foot passing distance around cyclists, passed the state Assembly and Senate and was presented to the Governor’s office for his signature on September 6, 2012.
Governor Brown has 12 days to either sign or veto the legislation. I haven’t seen SB 1464 mentioned in his daily legislative updates, and 12 days have passed, so… that means 1464 is now law, right?
Does anybody know for sure?
