As with every approaching new year, a host of laws are about to take effect in California that include a focus on minorities and animals.
On Jan. 1, 2023, numerous bills signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom , surrounding clothing, the workplace, and the criminal justice system, will go into effect. Here are the most high profile examples:Hollywood celebrities and Silicon Valley moguls will have to buy their fur somewhere else. The manufacture and sale of fur products will be prohibited as the progressive state becomes the first to ban all new fur products.
Backers of the new law say racial disparities exist when police hand out tickets, with black pedestrians cited more often. A previous version of the law was vetoed by Newsom in 2021.If you are a prostitute and want to claim a street corner as your own, starting on Jan. 1, police can’t do anything about it.
“It simply revokes provisions of the law that have led to disproportionate harassment of women and transgender adults. Black and Latino women are particularly affected,” Newsom said.For years, women have been purchasing products aimed at men because the cost can be substantially less than a female counterpart, such as shampoo or razors. This markup has been called the"pink tax" and it will soon be illegal.
“Recognizing this day as a state holiday acknowledges the diversity and cultural significance Asian Americans bring to California and provides an opportunity for all Californians to participate in the significance of the Lunar New Year,” Newsom said.A controversial new law will permanently seal most felony convictions after defendants complete their sentences and any probation requirements. They must also go a certain number of years without any new arrests.
