California has an exemption for light weight trailers. My ATV trailer, no matter how many ATVs I load on it, does not require a ny brakes at all, because it is a utility trailer with a weight rating below the lime (either 2,000 or 2,500, I forget which).
But, we are discussing TMs here, so a TM in California:
Must have trailer brakes. I think you could use surge brakes, but I would not want to do so.
If they are electric brakes then the trailer must have a battery to operate the brakes in case the trailer separates from the tow vehicle.
