The California wording, reasoning, and the communications between the State of California and Valvoline have been discussed here before.It's also interesting to note that Valvoline cannot reccomend their Maxlife ATF in California where it does not meet viscosity requirements of the recommended application.
Here is but one of the many threads previously in which this was discussed:
Maxlife California Specs?
As of 12/20/16 looks like there are alternate specs in CA per website: http://content.valvoline.com/pdf/maxlife_atf.pdf Suitable for use in: Allison TES 389*, C-4 Audi/VW G-055-025-A2, G-052-162-A1/A2, G-052-990- A2, G-055-005-A2, G-055-162-A6, G-055-540-A2, G-060- 162-A2, G-052-025-A2...

I venture to say the bureaucrats in CA know little about ATF chemistry.
