Seems like we should post a sticky notice on the forum: DO NOT USE HUB MOTORS ON ALUMINUM FORKS. Adding to that, I would probably never buy a front motor, I just don't trust the forces involved.
My rear hub is stealthy- hidden by the rear pannier. And I don't just ride the throttle uphill, appearing to defy gravity. That's just asking to be noticed.
I believe the bills are the same... it was passed by the Assembly, then had to go through approval by the Senate, where it is stuck in committee. I think the phrasing is that the motor can't assist above 20mph.
