New California driving laws include sideshow crackdown, lower speed limits to protect pedestrians
New California laws 2022 taking effect on Jan. 1 include wildfire management, lower speed limits, cocktails and higher minimum wages.Assembly Bill 974 by Assemblymember Luz Rivas, D-Arleta requires minors to wear a helmet when riding a horse, mule or donkey on a paved highway. It also requires all riders or their horses to wear reflective gear or lights when riding at sundown or later.
"If we can prevent even one injury because of this new law, then our efforts will have been worth it," Rivas said.AB 798 by Assemblyman James Ramos helps California tribes cut red tape to operate ambulances on their land. As Eyewitness News reported earlier this year, tribes said the state was requiring them to go through a longer process to get permission to operate ambulances than most cities and counties go through. As a result, they had new equipment that was purchased but sitting around unused as they went through the state bureaucratic process. And that meant relying on private ambulance companies responding to emergencies from outside tribal land, increasing response time.
