California Gov. Brown is expected to sign new legislation further restricting the sale of ivory. The new bill is intended to close the loop on pre-ban ivory. Essentially, there will no longer be any distinction made between prior 1977 legally obtained ivory and post ban ivory. As it pertains to us, the legislation will make it illegal for anyone to sell or buy a cue having elephant or mastodon ivory in its make-up.
As I interpret it, cue makers residing in California will not be allowed to legally make or sell a cue having ivory, regardless of any documentation or affidavit which states the year in which the ivory was obtained. That also means no one residing in that state can sell or buy like cues. That will restrict all residents in California, cue makers included, to making, buying and selling cues that are ivory free.
