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.

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 !

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.

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?

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".

I lived in Los Angeles for fourteen years. Left in 1974 but went back to visit friends in L.A. and
San Francisco every year up until 1995. Couldn't stand it anymore after that. It's no longer the
California that I once loved. I'll never go back again.

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.

Please Come To the Socialist Commonwealth of Massachusetts (where everything is taxed) &
the last 2 speakers of the house are both felons, with a third speaker about to become a felon.
You might just miss California.
Please come to New York (Where everything is taxed even more), where a bagel costs $2.00,
but if they slice it, it costs $2.18. (9 % slicing tax). You might just miss California.
If you rob Peter to pay Paul, & create more Pauls, who's vote will these stinking politicians get?
Not to mention that Peter will soon see the futility of voting. We are a nation of SHEEP,

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

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.
I'm looking at perhaps the east coast. Maybe Texas too. I would be an asset because I work
hard and far from lazy.

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, 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.

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

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

1. Free medical for every one....nice idea but who is going to bay for 30-40 million dumped on
the system....you?
2. Free college for every one including persons here not leagally.....nice idea but again who is
going to pay for all this nonsense.....you?
3. Cleaner air in Cali.....nice idea but consider Cali has not had one gasoline refinery built in over
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
states........then New York and Mass. will jump in. BTW if you are going to throw in the old just
like Rush redneck BS. Check Pomp Charbonneau....that's my ancestor.

Government exists to control people. There is enough of everything for everyone in this world.
The government simply limits access to resources and stands in the way of God-given freedom
in order to create inequality and dependence. Wake up already.

Listen, California is going to be a bankrupt State within 90 days of Moonbat Jerry Brown taking
office. He'll fail with the Libtard legislature too, just like Democrat Arnold did & when California
cries to be bailed out, Congress won't do it. Then watch the Union contracts dissolve & the State
will turn purple, if not Red. The problem is in the legislature, where all Democrats in it need to
be purged!

Wow! Where do you start with the late great state of Clifornia? I lived there for a short time in
the early eighties and knew then how jacked up that state is. It was a dream of mine to go to Cali.
Then reality hit. For those on NorCal, I feel for you, the rest of the state is holding you hostage.
When will the Libs learn that, you can't take care of everyone. We are a nation built on self
reliance and taking care of our own. The old adage "Give an man a fish he eats for a day, teach
him to fish, he eats for a lifetime" comes to mind. When so many people have their hands out for
help when they are perfectly capable of working will always break the budget. Thanks for
protecting the imbosiles from themselves. Sometimes the gene pool needs to be emptied.

Update. The top 5% of the working population pays 58% of the nations taxes. the top 1% pays
38.02%. The bottom 50% pat 2.7% of the nations taxes but want the others to pay more. One
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
you not to pay taxes!!!! Fantastic.

California can do what they want. I love free speech and democracy at work. BUT, when their
over spending and over regulation government goes bankrupt. Dont even think about using my
federal tax dollars to bail them out. You spend it, you earn it. California is free to setup and pay
for their socialist utopia. This experiment called the United States of America needs to be split
up so that people are provided the right to setup and live in the society and culture of their
choice.

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
again!

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
passion. The liberals have completely and utterly destroyed it, as they have attempted to do to
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

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.

Whoa! Hoa is HOT. Great article that reports without editorializing. You've gone national
now that Drudge picked you up, and what a hornet's nest you've stirred up, huh? Can't wait
for the follow up. I bet you can find more laws that are even more ridiculous.

"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."
Will there be a government program to give people the $2000 if they need it?

Hi All,
A reader asked where I got all my info. From the California's Legislative website:
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/
Working on a follow-up story as we speak.
Thanks for reading this glance at California's 725 new laws.
Best,
Hoa

I have an idea, vote in some more women and democrats. Sorry about being "not PC" but that is
where most of the "do something disease" comes from

We need a couple more laws. Legalize concealed carry. Legalize target shooting within 100 yards
of the border in rural areas. Require that the home addresses and phone numbers of all
government officials be made public record. List every law that that official voted for. Let's see
how many new laws get passed after that.

Took his toys and went home. Had to have been a joke, being that ignorant. Maverick and
Malibu are the same. They're just trying to stir the puddin' for their entertainment. Still want
to know what they REALLY do for a living.

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)
Intelligence service in the world about the threat from Iraq?

Just DopeyRatz doing what they do best - continue to make people miserable while trying to
make things better. Every time they do anything to help people it seems to hurt people more. If
anyone's happy they find a way to screw that up too. I just love listening to the 3 amigo's talk
about the "rich" while wearing designer suits that cost more than most of us make in a month! It
truly amazes me that people continue to believe this dribble. I've never votes for a DopeyRat
( except JFK) but everything is supposed to be my fault. Time to wake up
