An EV Mandate of Another Sort: Andrew Bray on California’s SORE Rule, Jobs & the Nationwide Impact

This week on the Labor & Energy Show w/JDoc & Krausey, Andrew Bray of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) joins the show to discuss California’s Small Off-Road Engine (SORE) regulations and the broader debate over restrictions on gas-powered equipment.

The conversation explores NALP’s concerns about the transition away from gas-powered lawn mowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, pressure washers, portable generators and other small-engine equipment. 

Bray also discusses the policy debate surrounding these regulations, their potential impact on landscape professionals and businesses, and why decisions originating in California can become relevant to similar regulatory debates elsewhere in the country.

What happens in California energy policy doesn’t always stay in California.
