	Booth space for the 2015 SEMA Show will be allocated during the Priority Booth Space Selection process, taking place May 4–22, 2015.

Companies interested in exhibiting at the 2015 SEMA Show can select and confirm their exhibit space by following the Four A’s to securing SEMA Show Booth Space. This four-step process gives exhibitors everything they need to know, from buying their booth to locking in their location in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The Four A’s are:

1. Application – The first step is to submit an application. Upon completion, an email will be sent confirming it was received.
2. Assigned Date and Time – This step only applies to those who submit their application and deposit prior to Monday, April 6, 2015. (So, if you don’t get your application in by this date, then you know you will not ace the process!) Companies that submit their applications before the deadline will receive an email the week of April 27, indicating what their assigned date and time is during the Priority Booth Space Selection. (Learn about the Priority Booth Space Selection process.)
3. Allocation – Booth space will be allocated during the Priority Booth Space Selection process, taking place May 4–22, 2015. Companies that submit applications after April 6 will be allocated space after the Priority Booth Space Selection process in the order that applications were received.
4. Action – After exhibitors select their booths, they will know their location and booth number and can jump into action. Start promoting your involvement and let your current customers know where you will be. Make sure new buyers can find you by reviewing your directory listing, entering the New Products Showcase and submitting press releases to the SEMA Show Online Media Center. Connect with your account rep to ensure you know and understand logistics, such as freight delivery, staff registration, branding opportunities and more.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe signed into law legislation to exempt antique motor vehicles from the requirement that they have exhaust systems of a type installed as standard factory equipment.

Legislation to exempt antique motor vehicles from the requirement that they have exhaust systems of a type installed as standard factory equipment, or comparable to that designed as factory equipment was signed into law by Governor Terry McAuliffe. The new law restricts this exemption only to antique vehicles manufactured prior to 1950 containing engines comparable to that designed as standard factory equipment for use on that vehicle.

For certain ’50 model-year and older vehicles, the new law remedies the enforcement policy in which nearly all exhaust systems not of a type installed as standard factory equipment are considered illegal. In addition, the new law recognizes that factory replacement parts or comparables are not always readily available for antique motor vehicles manufactured prior to 1950.

Legislation has been introduced in the California legislature to require manufacturers of designated consumer products, including automotive products, to include all ingredients on the product label and online on the manufacturer’s website. Currently, ingredients in automotive products are not required to be listed on product labels. The bill would apply to “automotive products,” specifically, all chemically formulated products for maintaining the appearance of a vehicle, including products for washing, waxing, polishing, cleaning or treating the exterior or interior surfaces of a vehicle, but excluding automotive paint and paint-repair products.
