Connecticut Legislature Shelves Gas-Powered Vehicle Ban
In a win for the automotive community, the Connecticut legislature has shelved plans to adopt California's ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. This decision comes amid concerns about the feasibility of such a drastic transition, particularly regarding the readiness of the state's electric grid and charging infrastructure.
In late 2023, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont withdrew a SAN-opposed regulation requiring the state to adopt California's strict motor-vehicle emissions laws and outlaw the sale of new gas- and diesel-powered cars beginning in 2035.

Georgia – Act Now: Lawmakers Advance Bill to Clarify Suspension Laws
Georgia lawmakers have advanced a SAN-supported bill to revamp the state’s suspension modification laws. If enacted, this bill would remove the ambiguous 2-inch limit with a clear frame height standard. This aims to bring clarity, fairness, and broader product options for Georgia's off-road community and the automotive industry.
The Georgia House of Representatives passed the bill, which will now go back to the Senate to agree with the amendments made in the House.
