New Regulations forTraffic Violator Schools

Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) has been working in conjunction with the California State Legislature and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to combat manipulation of the DMV's official Traffic School List. Legislation (AB 708) was passed last year that, while not entirely what we were advocating for, we hope will better the business environment for the traffic violator school (TVS) industry in the state.

We are currently waiting for updated regulations from the DMV to spell out the final details of the changes. Still, some of the provisions in the legislation are set to go into effect on July 1, 2020. Check out the text of the revised sections of the California Vehicle Code so that you can begin to make preparations to be in compliance with these new regulations.

In particular, note that the revised laws may impact:

• the size of your TVS office
• the location of your TVS office
• multi-school ownership provisions

Though it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic may delay implementation, we strongly recommend that you be ready to abide by the new rules.

Reminder: California Identity Validation Revisions

Remember!!!

This post is a friendly reminder that, as you were previously notified, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) has revised some of the "personal identification" questions asked of students of its internet- and booklet-based traffic violator school (TVS) courses. As a licensee of TSC's TVS curriculum, the materials that you present/distribute to students are impacted by this change.

Starting today, March 4, 2020,…

• students of your internet-based program will be presented with the new content, and no further action is required on your part.
• your booklet students should be shipped the updated student forms, which are available from the CA Course Provider administrative website (login required). (If you sign up booklet students, the personal identification questions that you ask of them have been updated for the registration process as well.)

Please help us to enhance TVS security by presenting these new materials to students!
