In a last-minute move, California lawmakers passed changes to the Lemon Law, aiming to alleviate court congestion caused by rising lemon law cases, despite concerns of complexity.
Governor Gavin Newsom signed the new Lemon Law changes, emphasizing the need to clear court backlogs, while showing reluctance due to potential confusion for consumers and automakers.
The legislation was controversial and rushed, having faced backlash from consumer groups and many automakers who were excluded from negotiations, leading to uncertainty in its implementation.
The main champion of the bill, General Motors, presents a contrasting position to other automakers like Toyota, which raises questions about the disparities in legal navigation for consumers.
