Californians will welcome 725 new laws on Jan. 1.

Here's a glance at some of the laws taking effect

when you ring in the new year:

n AB 119 prevents insurance companies

from charging different rates for men and

women for identical coverage.

n SB 782 prevents landlords from evicting

tenants who are victims of domestic or

sexual abuse or stalking.

n AB 1844informally known as Chelsea'sLaw and authored by local Assemblyman

Nathan Fletcherwill increase penalties,

parole provisions and oversight of sex

offenders, including a "one-strike, life-

without-parole penalty" for some.

n AB 1871 allows people to lease out their

cars when they are not being used

alleviating the need to purchase additional

insurance.

n AB 537 will make food stamps an

acceptable form of payment at farmers

markets through an EBT process.

n SB 1411 makes it a misdemeanor to maliciously impersonate someone via a social media outlet

or through e-mails.

n SB 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.

n AB 715 makes a change to the California Green Building Standards code. The change will

require new California buildings to be energy efficient.

n SB 1449 makes the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana an infraction with a penalty of a

$100 fine.

n AB 12 allows foster youth to acquire state services until the age of 21.

n SB 1399 allows California to medically parole state prison inmates with physical incapacitating

conditions and ultimately shifts some of the cost of care to the federal government.

n AB 97 bans the use of trans-fats in food facilities.

Hey, Wayne, how much does a phone call cost to report a stalker?

Robyn


The Victims of Violence Law SB 782

If you read the law or a summary of the law

(http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/billtrack/analysis.html?aid=44033) you'll see it doesn't

protect people who fail to pay their rent.

The law makes it so a landlord can't evict someone JUST because they are a victim. Victims

are often evicted because they use the police too often to come and protect them or because

the neighbors don't want to hear them screaming for help. Often these evictions fall under

disturbing the peace violations. Often these people end up in homeless shelters and the

children don't go to school which ends up putting a bigger burden on society. This law should

help save the taxpayer money in the long run.

This law protects the victim from violence and eviction while protecting the landlord from

fraud. Read it.

Problem is this state has no common sense. Calling to report a stalker does NOTHING. "Get

a restraining order" What? Lots of dead and injured people had restraining orders.

Case in point. I reported a serious situation with a guy out of Vietnam with severe mental

disorders. I called the police and reported it. Even told them the address I was going to ( a

friend's house) and that this guy was threatening to be there to 'greet ' me . I was told they

could not do anything unless he did something. So me and my 357 were best friends. One

night, well, let it go at that. Lots of complications and 'discussions with the police " afterwards

but eventually I get to be released and now live with the result for the rest of my life. My fun

sport of target shooing has been ruined. I did call !

Joe


Robin, sadly you are naive. The laws in this wacky state NEVER work because of those who

write it and the judicial system that plays humanitarian with Other people's lives. The

criminals keep getting out and the victim's keep getting victimized. When law and order are

real, then these stalking victim's will not need such misguided intentions. Best thing a stalking

victim could do in today's california bario is to move to another state where the stalkers are

really dealt with. New laws are paper in this state , paper without a solution to anything

except to 'feel good'. New laws mean and do nothing.

David


Robyn ignores that the aggressor (in the case of domestic abuse) is afforded equal protection

under SB 782. Essentially, the abuser and the abused can feel "safe" in their home...at least

until one of them is Dead! Right on, protect and perpetuate a dangerous situation. Robyn

also ignores the rights of the neighbors...who have done nothing wrong and may just simply

want to sleep through the night, but, I guess for Robyn, they are not victims, too?

Spike


Gregc is on point. So bullet #2 makes it illegal for a landlord to evict a tenant alleged to be avictim of abuse or stalking. Although I sympathize with actual victims, their situation should not

exempt them from having to pay for things they need (rent), and how many more tenants

(working to get more "free" stuff) will now claim to be victims to avoid paying rent? I guarantee

that the number of abuse and stalking victims in California will now skyrocket. Will the

businessmen who are the landlords just be expected to provide their Capital assets for nothing?

If that is the case, those businessmen will get try to get rid of those unprofitable assets, resulting

in even more real estate dumped into one of the worst markets in the country. Either that, or the

"government" will pay the rent, probably at some formula well below market value. But the

government is in hock up to its eyeballs already, and it would pay for ridiculous laws like this

from tax generated revenue. That tax revenue would come from the producers actually paying

the taxes, who, if they have the means, are fleeing the state in droves because of insane crap like

this. I'm one of them. I lived in California for more than 30 years, and thought it was the greatest

place on Earth back in the day. I moved to Florida in 2004, and it almost makes me cry to think

what California has become. You're already circling the drain, and if you keep electing

politicians that pass laws like these, you're going down.

And its going to get much worse. Too many people have hinged their hopes on the

Republicans. As far as I'm concerned we should just call them all republicrats. Romney

brought us mandatory insurance policies, oblivious to the extreme invasion of personal

liberty it entailed. Huckeby is strongly in favor of limiting personal liberty, as are most of the

Republicans and all of the democrats. Ron Paul for 2012.

Good one sine wave. If by "backwards" you mean states that provide ESSENTIAL services while

living within their means by balancing their budgets, then I'm a proud "rednecked" idiot in abackward State. As Margaret Thatcher once said: "The problem with socialism is that at some

point, you run out of other people's money".

Just about 100 years ago my grandparents and great grandparents migrated to California, to

escape fascism, government oppression and and seek the freedom and prosperity that the state

offered. As of 2010 all but a few of their children, grandchildren, and great grand children have

left the state for the same reasons.

You might just miss California.

You're right. California has circled the drain and whined for bailouts long enough. Time for

the laws of nature to take over and let Californians flush with both hands. By the way, we

shocked -- shocked, I tell you -- that sine wave thinks you're a racist.

I can't take ca anymore either. I will miss certains things too but that (beaches, mountains)

will be in shambles too. The only solution all these wacky politicians can think of is to sell the

properties? Like the OC fairgrounds- nuts, just nuts. The state and surrounding businessesmake money due to the state fairs and other events held there. Its all just to feel good and put

out more deceiving propaganda how to reduce the fiscal crisis. What state did you move to.

You would think that having had a state legislature that has spent the last 10 (actually a lot

longer than that!) running up multi-billion dollar deficits, that the people of Mexifornia would

have learned something. But you forget that the majority are Democrats. These unbelievably

stoopid, knee-jerk leftists just re-elected every single incumbent - the corrupt morons who got

CA into the mess it's in in the first place. However, they also support euthanasia, so maybe there

is a cure for stoopid...

Yeah...I left California over a year ago. Although I miss certain things...I'm so glad I'm out of

there. Just for the record....Dems & Repubs have both ruined the state. Ca. Repubs assisted inadministering the largest tax increase in the history of the country in 2009. So let's not be

fooled...neither party gives a rats-ass about the average working Californian. What really scares

me are the laws the article could not mention? 725 laws!!!! Stay tuned!!!

You're right. Reason is probably a lost cause, huh?

In response to "sine wave" - DEAL. All of the states will withhold their tax dollars and take

care of their own infrastructure.

It's even better than that. They are not only part time and have a limited sessions, THEY

ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO MEET EVERY OTHER YEAR. That's right. They only meet in

the odd numbered years. That's how you limit the damage they can cause.

And for the first time in our history we have a super majority of Republicans. Yep, over 67%

Republicans. So the dumbocrats can't do anything while the Republicans can push through

even more business friendly laws.

And Frank - they have their sights set on our great Republic of Texas. With designs little

different from those showing fruit in Ca.

legislature like Cali has. Texas has a part time legislature that meets 90 days a year. Wanna

compare the two states economies?

Alright all you fools that keep electing liberal 'we know best what's good for you'

democrat/communist as your leaders; I wouldn't live in California for all the money in the

treasury (oh I forgot - the dems have only borrowed money to use). You are getting exactly

what you have voted for - is nice weather part of the time (other times it is floods, landslides,

Why do liberals always go to government and make laws??

So many laws!! Like 35 laws!! JUST CUT TAXES, that's all I care about-- give me money to

buy cheap pretty things made by the Chinese at Walmart for my family slowly dying of

obesity and brain starvation.

BAN LAWMAKING-- the only we should be able to pass is the best law, TAX CUTS!

You're right, not everyone is a racist. Just the ones who refer to "Mexifornia."

As far as the bankrupt state is concerned, again, compare the federal tax paid by California,

the world's fifth largest economy, to the federal goods and services we receive vs. the federal

largess that Texas receives. The Texas economy is propped up by California tax dollars.

we are going to charge you guys to death.

When's that oil going to pay for the roads that California tax dollars built in Texas? It's just

I lived in CA for 35 years and left 3 years ago to move to AZ....the best move I ever made. The

illegals are taking over CA and the liberals are letting them do it. If you work hard and want to

have a modicum of freedom, you can no longer live in CA. It will only get worse in the coming

years. The tax base has been eroded to the point it can no longer support the mass welfare state

it has become. When it falls, which it will, maybe the reset button can be hit and the state will

return to some state of normalcy. In the interim, it's best to just stay away.

John Cooper ought to get his facts straight, and try a little Googling instead of pontificating:

http://www.psk12.com/rating/USthreeRsphp/STATE_US_level_Middle_CountyID_0.ht

California ranks 46th out of 50 on education for middle schools. Oklahoma ranks 36th,

Louisiana ranks 45th, and Kentucky ranks 30th. Alabama ranks 49th, and Mississippi ranks

48th, both just a hair under California.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5562698/state_education_rankings_graduatio

California ranks forty-eighth for high school graduation rates.

That is the key problem with liberals. They would rather make pronouncements, engage in

insults, and draw factually incorrect but politically correct conclusions that ignore facts.

Take liberal's ignorance of basic facts into account when you read their smug 'I know better

than you' posts.

Easy there Mr. Stump. Bush had nothing to do with the response fiasco post Katrina. The

Constitution mandates that States are responsible for all pre-and post disaster efforts. The

Feds are not to get involved unless the State governor requests it, which neither the mayor of

New Orleans or the Governor of Louisiana did until it was far too late. Had Bush intervened

before the required request, Major Media would have had a field day accusing him of being a

Nazi for taking over a State task. You are right on target about D.C. being infested with

"thief's, cowards, and socialists", however. Keep up the good work.

30 years so as not to pollute the Cali air with all that refinery junk....Nice BUT....Cali has more

than doubled it's consumption in the last 20 years....Sooooo where do they get all this dirty

gasoline from????? Yup they import gas from other states and actually export their pollution to

those states. It gets better.....check how long it has been since Cali built a large electrical

powerplant....you can't count that high.....but but but Cali has more than doubles it's electricalconsumption in the last 10 years......so where is all that power and pollution coming

freom.....Cali exports isn't problems to other states but pats themselves on the back because

they are so green. NEWS FLASH....It's not green if you become green on the backs of other

states. So how will Cali eventually pay for all this crap? Yup they will dump it on the other 49

could conclude that you are in that 50% that pay 2.7% and want the "rich" guys to pay more so

you can pay less? Hey only 2.7% less and you can pay nothing. Better yet if you work at it hard

enough you can get the top 1% and the top 5% to pay say 5% more each and then they can pay

I am a Californian, and I can explain this beautiful place for the rest of you. Here's the nub:

California has the most amazing weather, climate and landscapes on earth. Haunting. Deeply

beautiful. Narcotic. As a result the liberal elites of this place are absolute perfectionists and

utopians. No expense is too much. Every tear must be wiped by a loving socialist nanny-state.

And since utopian-perfection is unobtainable in human affairs, the elites prefer complete chaos

and disintegration because in the back of their mushy minds they believe chaos will bring them

closer to perfection. In short: the perfect IS the enemy of the good. As an example of the type

look no further than Nancy Pelosi. She is a former Marin County supervisor who is VERY

wealthy. From her enormous home on the cliffs among the redwoods it seems anything is

possible. A passionate devotion to "equity" and "diversity". To the extent these people have a

philosophical orientation it can best be described as classical 1930's marxist-trotskyite. TheyHATE the middle class (very classical marxist: "epatet le bougouisie"). In their world view the

middle class siphons money away from the truly deserving elites while simultaneously

'exploiting' the working class. Their goal is a soviet-style society, hopefully without the 'hard

gulags' that caused so much suffering. Instead we will have mandatory psyche meds prescribed

under Obamacare for those diagnosed with 'oppositional-defiant' disorder.

I think you have offered a most insightful analysis of "what California actually is, and how it

got that way". I can clearly remember when California was deservedly a place that attracted

newcomers because it offered, and promised, so much. It was a national leader, and trend

setter in positive and productive ways. That all began to change in the '60s' when the liberal

erosion started taking root at the Federal level, and found fertile soil on the Left Coast. Trust

me on this...Washington and Oregon have also been infected by the California virus.

Thomas stump,

You hit on some good points. The Increased Spending on the part of the Federal Government to

'mandate' Programs and partial pay is choking the states financially. Plus, printing even more

monies to support the rest of the World because Americans are Unfair and have so much.

Few people realize that California's Debt represents 13% of Our GDP ! Look what Greece is doing

to the EU. There re three more states because CA which totals to amost 45 % of GDP!

China holds 80% of our debt ! The Government controls 40% of the Economy and 90% of

Mineral Rights within 6 states with 40- 50% ownership of land through National Parks andother laws. Yet, we are paying out money to everyone in the world, too. How much can be

PRINTED and how many LAWS are Too many ?

The Mexican Constitution is based on 196 Rights 'controlled' by the Government.

Americans have No Rights if moving to Mexico.

What a Great Country this United Socialist States of America !

P.S. I am a 9th generation American.

Note to any conservatives. Want to drive liberals nuts. Go to Barns and Nobel or Books a

Million, pick up a copy of a King James Study guide, A copy of Combat hand guns, and a Copy of

a Glen Beck book. Sit in the coffee section making sure all the yuppies see what you are reading,

God, guns, and Beck. Make sure when you are done you leave the God, Guns and Beck on the

table in the coffee section. Better yet go to Starbucks and bring the same books God, Guns, and

Beck and hand out there. Even better yet, bring the same three books to the caf section at the

Berkeley student center. NOTE: You might actually pack your gun if you have one.....you might

need it! have fun!

I would only like to comment on the marijuana issue. Am pleased as punch that FINALLY

California has a semblance of sanity in passing a toke[n] victory in this one, at the very least. I

left her in '99, but always voted for these bills when they were on the ballot. I don't smoke, but

anyone with common sense[amilla] realizes how asinine it is to pursue prosecution of pot perps.

Thank you for a wee bit o' sanity !

When I moved to MexiFornia in the early 80's, my Midwestern Dad warned me I'd be back. He

said "you work to support the guy next to you in California". Well, I was young and dumb and

moved there anyway. Once I saw it was basically a 3rd world country with real slums like Brazil,

I had never been so happy in all my life to see the deep green fields of corn & smell the

Goldenrods through the windows of my Plymouth. When I got near my normal home town in

the Midwest, I pulled over, grabbed a palm full of Black Glacier soil, kissed it, and felt ALIVE

725 endless new laws, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of govt violations of

our right:

They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like America

Deceived II and censoring the internet.

They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.

They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.

They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.

Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

It is said that everything begins on the West coast. That means what you see in California is only

a year or two away from the Nation. The people have looked down so long that we are no longer

a Republic but now supposedly a Democracy. The next step is fascism or authoritarism.

Dependence on the government is very dangerous and we have passed that. I am glad I am in the

fall of my years. My step grandchildren will NOT enjoy the freedoms my generation did unless

they stop this downward spiral of dependence.

I have lived all of my 61 years here in California. I love the geography but hate the politics with a

the rest of the country. My goal for 2011 is to get out of this mess for good. It saddens me to

think of leaving my home State, but, it is becoming unlivable here. I predict within a very short

time you will not see the difference between California and most third world countries.

No surprise here.

They're the countries run by left wing idiots, dictators and communists.

You want to see screwed up States in the USA? You know.... the most screwed up states on the

verge of bankruptcy where people and businesses are packing up their belongings and moving

the hell out? They're very easy to find too. They're the States run by left wing idiots, otherwise

know as Democrats.

The California Senate has been in Democratic hands continuously since 1970. What'd you

expect?

Whenever we begin to think that Californians can't possibly get any crazier, they prove us

wrong. What they do to their own state is bad enough, but let's not overlook the fact that they

have also cursed the rest of the nation with the likes of Pelosi, Boxer, Waters, Feinstein, who

now have significant influence over the lives of the rest of us who don't live in" Dizzyland". The

truly sad fact is that California used to be a wonderful place, until the liberal factions took it

over, and decided that they were preordained by their own "superior intellects" to create a

Utopia for the less enlightened citizenry.

I am a native Californian. I am 48 years old. My husband and I have run a business in California

for nearly 30 years. We have fought the good fight so to speak but now realise we are out

numbered by the "takers". The takers are the blood sucking unions, illegal aliens and the state

workers that provide less then stellar "service" to their fellow Californians for which they are

paid handsomely. In speaking with other California business owners, it's amazing just how many

are looking at leaving this state, and these are not big corporations. It is the small family

businesses that are looking to get out. I did not vote for Governor Moonbeam nor did I cast a

vote for elitist do nothing Boxer. What's funny is how many Californians blame Arnold...it justgoes to show how stupid people are. It's the legislature stupid! The Governor does not write the

laws, nor does the President! I would highly recommend to other states that do have transplants

from California to require a competency test be taken before the former Californian can vote in

your state! This will be the year my family leaves California.

This is a stupid law. It's not hard to get in trouble if the principal decides he/she doesn't like

for parents to be checking on how their children are doing in school. We have a visually

impaired child and we let her go to a space camp educational program designed especially for

visually impaired children. It was during school because that was the only time the camp

could get enough experts and chaperones for the visually impaired children. We had a valid

excuse from the space camp director but the principal spitefully denied the 4 days were

excused abscences and then turned us in to a social worker, saying our child didn't attend

school regularly. We had to threaten a lawsuit to stop the harassment. Our daughter will be

attending a private homeschool soon.

Yes it failed in 1991 but - Enron was formed in 1985 by Kenneth Lay after merging Houston

Natural Gas and InterNorth. Several years later, when Jeffrey Skilling was hired, he

developed a staff of executives that, through the use of accounting loopholes, special

purpose entities, and poor financial reporting, were able to hide billions in debt from failed

deals and projects. Sounds like the deed was done under clinton maverick. You have your

head up your.... it would seem.

What a surprise that Mav would agree with Malibu... Just waiting for Sinewave to join them

for the trifecta. You know what they say, when everyone else is wrong, you'd better look in

the mirror. I guess I'll bite though. The only thing missing in this outdated screed is "Bush

lied, people died". If Bush was such an incompetent idiot, how did he manage to fool almost

every liberal member of the legislative branch, along with every Allied (and enemy)
