#California new & used car buyers are close to having new rights and protections under #SB766, championed by @benallenca.bsky.social. BRAVO @erinwitte-cfa.bsky.social @chuckbell.bsky.social & all supporters! We're all hoping @governor.ca.gov will sign the bill, making cars more affordable in CA.
California is poised to save car buyers over $234 million and 8.5 million hours by making car dealers tell them the price up front. 🚗
KUDOS to @benallenca.bsky.social, @autosafety4all.bsky.social and @saalevine.bsky.social for getting this to @governor.ca.gov’s desk.
