California Assemby Bill 48, Can it be true?

 A bill in the state assembly is likely to widen it's scope to include flight schools and each flight instructor (me). There is a lot to be determined yet ,but should it include either it will certainly change General Aviation in California for the worse!

Below are articles I have read on the internet to try to find some clarity. The first 4 are leading up to the hearing on June 7th and the last one an account of what happened during  the hearing.
