Republicans objected that the bill could result in luxury vehicles parked outside welfare offices, but Assemblyman Roger Hernandez, the bill's author, said people who have lost their jobs need reliable vehicles to seek work. "The problem is there's no limit on the cap, and when you have folks that are driving around in luxury vehicles seeking state assistance from taxpayers, it sends a wrong message," said Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries, R-Lake Elsinore. Advocates for the poor say vehicles should not be considered in asset tests because they help people look for and keep jobs. Hernandez introduced the legislation again this year because he thought the state's fiscal situation might improve, said his legislative aide, Mary June Flores.
