Exactly what it states.  The problem is that the article states that most states and the Feds have historically just fallen in lock step with California regulations.  Up here in NH, the tailpipe of the country, we have enjoyed the cleaner air that the smog regulations have provided; there are some very positive aspects to some of the regulations.
In this case, the excessive racket created by a minority of bikers is what they, including their man of the year, Arnold, are trying to get rid of.  Opinions abound but every time I'm woken up by a biker expressing his individuality, I (IMHO) agree fully.

The law impacts newly manufactured bikes... ie bikes manufactured for sale in CA on or after 2013.

We definitely want to ensure this law goes no further than crazy CA.

I just thought I'd mention that the latest American Motorcyclist magazine cites Arnold Schwartzeneger as their person of the year.  He just signed a new California law that mandates an EPA label on all exhausts after 2013.  First fine: $100.  Subsequent: $250 each time they find you with non compliant pipes.  The article worries that this law will go nationwide soon.
Think before you discard or sell your stock exhaust systems; you might need them someday if this spreads to earlier bikes in your state.
