New Regulations for
Traffic 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.
