I think we should all get behind this, and try to get this thing overturned. A really poorly thought out law, that effects way more things than it should.

Per a CHP source: 

"The staid and un-moving interpretation ... is that unless the equipment is vehicle OEM, or it is an official vehicle operating in a form of governmental business with official markings, the operation of 2-way radio equipment is prohibited in a moving vehicle unless it conforms to the"dash mounted, one-swipe" form-factor prescribed in the law. No exceptions. This includes public utility vehicles, emergency responders actively in-motion (i.e. volunteer firefighters in POV's), and many more examples."

Editorial:  A plausible first level response from the amateur community would be Legislative outreach: The law is over-reaching and open to vague local interpretation (the letter of the law vs the above broader interpretation.)   

Editorial:  A plausible second level response from the amateur community would be to get the ARRL legal team engaged.

This affects not only residents but of course an unknown number of visiting ham, GMRS, CB tourists with various radios.

I just started the petition "California State House: Qualify or Repeal AB 1785 re: Immersive v. Passive Devices" and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

It is best there be ONE petition vs. fragmented initiatives/messaging. 

The goal is to reach 70K (CA ham population) signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Thanks!
