Some of the new California laws that may take for this year:

SWEEPSTAKE JARGEN TO CHANGE

This CA bill says that it will be banning misleading sweepstakes entry material designed falsly draw someone to participate by saying that they have been specially selected to participate in their drawing.  Moreover it prohibits the sweepstakes sponsors from bait and switch their a fee to receive or obtain information about a prize.

HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE NEWSPAPERS

The CA school administrators may be prohibited from retaliating against high school and college journalism instructors for refusing to censor student newspapers. This will make it illegal to dismiss, transfer, or discipline teachers for protecting their students free-speech rights.

CA 2 LAWS ON TEACHERS SEX CRIMES

The first law will make it tougher for teachers who commit sex crimes by allowing the state to revoke the licenses of teachers who plead no contest to certain sex crimes or drug offenses without waiting for a discretionary review that can sometimes take two or three years.

The second one allows the CTCC, California Teacher Credentialing Commission, to revoke a teachers licenses automatically if a previous criminal conviction has limited their contact with children.

ORGINS OF THE BOTTLED WATER

This legislation will require bottled water producers to reveal where they obtain their sorce of water, either on the bottle's label or on a package insert.  Which is one step for the consumer to know seeing that the testing reports requirment are less strict then any government ran facility.

CLEANER PET STORES

This bill sets a higher standard for the care of animals sold in pet stores by requiring them to have their cages/place of storage to be cleaned frequently and that the stores be kept free of pests.  Not this is sad that a bill was needed...
