"It's a huge step forward for keeping our community safe. For too long, these areas have been used for dangerous activities that create noise, damage property, and put lives at risk," said Assembly Member Nily Rozic, who co-sponsored the legislation.
"We are giving law enforcement the ability and the tools to come onto private property, such as this, without getting immediate prior authorization from the property owner to enforce against this kind of reckless driving," said Senator Liu, who introduced the act in the senate.
State traffic law now considers parking lots places where reckless driving can occur, giving local law enforcement more power to stop this common late-night activity.
Senator Liu and Assembly Member Rozic first introduced the legislation in 2021, when local residents noticed a significant uptick in the behavior, highlighting their ongoing commitment to addressing community safety.
