Gov. Newsom Vetoes SB 961 Requiring Speed Alerts in New Cars
Sep 28, 2024, 09:30 PM
California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB 961 on Saturday, a bill that would have required new cars sold in the state from 2030 onward to be equipped with speed-limiting technology to alert drivers when they exceed the speed limit by 10 miles per hour or more. The legislation, authored by State Senator Scott Wiener, aimed to reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries by addressing speeding, a major factor in road fatalities that results in approximately 4,000 deaths annually in California. Newsom's veto message stated that "this bill presents several challenges." The decision disappointed Wiener, who said, "This veto is disappointing but I'm committed to this work," as well as pedestrian safety advocates who had urged the governor to sign the legislation.
