Here’s a few new laws in California that are now in effect. Can’t say I’m in agreement with most of them.
\nAB 119 prevents insurance companies from charging different rates for men and women for identical coverage.
\nSB 782 prevents landlords from evicting tenants who are victims of domestic or sexual abuse or stalking.
\nAB 1844\u2014informally known as Chelsea’s Law and authored by local Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher\u2014will increase penalties, parole provisions and oversight of sex offenders, including a “one-strike, life-without-parole penalty” for some. \ufeff
\nAB 1871 allows people to lease out their cars when they are not being used\u2014alleviating the need to purchase additional insurance.
\nAB 537 will make food stamps an acceptable form of payment at farmers markets through an EBT process.
\nSB 1411 makes it a misdemeanor to maliciously impersonate someone via a social media outlet or through e-mails.\ufeff
\nSB 1317 allows the state to slap parents with a $2,000 fine if their K-8 child misses more than 10 percent of the school year without a valid excuse. It also allows the state to punish parents with up to a year in prison for the misdemeanor\ufeff.\ufeff
\nAB 715 makes a change to the California Green Building Standards code. The change will require new California buildings to be energy efficient.
\nSB 1449 makes the possession of one ounce of marijuana an infraction with a penalty of a $100 fine.
\nAB 12 allows foster youth to acquire state services until the age of 21.
\nSB 1399 allows California to medically parole state prison inmates with physical incapacitating conditions and ultimately\ufeff shifts some of the cost of care to the federal government.
\nAB 97 bans the use of trans-fats in food facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
