A new year brings new traffic laws to California. Several new laws will take effect in 2026. As a provider of traffic safety and driver education in the state, you should familiarize yourself with these changes so you can provide proper education and assistance to your students.

The next order of books that you receive from TSC will be the latest edition. You may continue to use "old" booklets from your inventory. However, if the bottom of the Table of Contents page of a book that you are issuing to a student does
not have a 2026 copyright (see example picture), you must include a "booklet insert" (available for download from the CA Course Provider Administration website) with that student's materials.
Make sure that you ship the latest versions of the home study booklet (or include an insert) and testing materials, as you will be responsible for teaching/testing students on this new material!Classroom Curriculum
Those of you who deliver classroom instruction must ensure that you teach students the updated curriculum. Download the electronic files from the
CA Course Provider administrative website (login required) for the latest Lesson Plan updates,
Safe Driving Journal (student and instructor versions), and final exam forms/answer keys. The files are available now, and you should begin using the updated materials immediately.
Make sure that you and/or any instructors you employ explain the new laws to students and distribute the latest versions of the classroom materials, as you will be responsible for teaching/testing students on this new material!
