The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is informing the public about several new public safety laws taking effect on January 1, 2026, following the 2024 legislative session and approval by Governor Gavin Newsom. These measures aim to enhance safety on California roads and in communities statewide.
 
Key Highlights:
Crimes: Burglary Tools (AB 486) – It is now a misdemeanor to possess key programming devices, key duplicating devices, or signal extenders with intent to commit burglary.

Electric Bicycle & Off-Highway Vehicle Safety (AB 544, SB 586) – Electric bicycles must have a rear red reflector or light at all times. Off-highway electric motorcycles (eMotos) are now classified as off-highway vehicles (OHVs) and subject to related safety and registration requirements.

Pedestrian Safety: School Zones (AB 382) – Local authorities may lower school zone speed limits to 20 mph through 2031. Afterward, school zone speed limits will be automatically reduced to 20 mph where posted.

Speed Enforcement (AB 289, AB 390, AB 1014) – New speed safety pilot programs will use radar or laser systems in work zones. The “slow down and move over” law now covers highway maintenance and stopped vehicles with warning devices. The Department of Transportation may reduce highway speed limits by five mph, with a 30-day warning citation period.

Vehicle Storage (AB 875) – Police may impound electric vehicles with fewer than four wheels that exceed 20 mph if operated by unlicensed individuals or minors under 16 operating class 3 e-bikes.

E-Bike and Battery Safety (SB 1271) – Electric bicycles, mobility devices, and lithium-ion batteries must meet new safety standards and labeling requirements. Non-compliant products may not be sold or rented after 2026, with stricter rental rules beginning in 2028.

Autonomous Vehicles (AB 1777) – Law enforcement may issue notices of noncompliance to autonomous vehicle manufacturers for traffic violations. From July 1, 2026, AVs without human operators must be equipped with two-way communication devices for first responders.
