The California State Assembly was busy this year. Many new laws are in store for state residents starting January 1st. Today in part 5 of a 5-part series, Gary Daigneault checks out some of those new laws…
AB1096 strikes the word “alien” from state law and replaces it with alternatives like “person who is not a citizen.”
AB1084 requires large retail stores to have a gender-neutral area or display for selling children’s items. The bill does not ban boys and girls sections in stores, but requires the addition of a neutral area.
AB43 gives cities new authority to reduce their speed limits. Local officials can reduce limits in increments of 5 mph by factoring the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in traffic surveys.
