I realize NY is a much larger state than WA, but 3 factors got our SEMA bill passed in 2011:
1. Bill sponsored by a state senator that is a gearhead.
2. Committee testimony by a custom car/chassis manufacturer close to the state capital that employs 20+ workers. This really had the most weight.
3. Letters and calls by car club members once the bill got started.
Steve McDonald at SEMA was most helpful in writing the bill and working with the state senator at every step.
Best of luck.
