New California laws now in effect

Several new laws are officially hitting the books in California! The changes include relief for renters, some added peace of mind for your next night out and more.

What about the 24 billion missing fees the state taxed us for “homelessness”?

[emmanuel]

Room for rent $53 a night, after “cleaning and other fees” $200 a night 😂

[Misty]

Notice how none of these laws are tracking where our tax money is going, or holding these government workers accountable for what and where they’re spending our tax dollars. On top of all the bonuses that they hand out to each other.

Where's the law to stop shoplifting and put the thieves in jail???

The 11% tax will end up in the general fund and then be used for other things. Let’s be honest is a punishment tax.

I had a close friend in high school whose family was bathe with the hose outside poor; she couldn’t buy tampons and pads. Our school provided some but they were the kind that hurt you and make you itchy. My father, who was a single father to me, would every month buy me and her both what we needed. I would bring it to her regularly. So I hope schools provide comfortable products and not that crazy cardboard stuff. These young girls deserve a sense of comfort.

Do the illegal hidden fees apply to car dealerships ? 🤔

[Dflowen]

Wait a tick, I don't recall voting for those on the ballot? 🤔

The drug test is to test your drink when you’re at a bar and think someone spiked your drink. For those of you who think raising the rent by $1000 or maybe even $2000 because you want to still have first, last and security deposit, let me be the one to tell you, you will NOT be getting your units rented. If people already cant afford the rent at it current rate before today, what makes you think people will be able to hand you an addition 1k or 2k a month? Your vacancies will sit due to greed

“Drug testing kits will either be free or customers will have to pay for them” of course customers are going to pay, no one is going to give those free

[ryananderson]

Politicians are so rich and I don’t remember voting for laws to hurt the middle class and not give back to communities let alone homelessness

[wcsoblake]

So they are taxing gun sales from people who comply with purchasing a firearm legally but not enforcing laws or making tougher laws on the people who commit gun crimes. That's a bunch of crap! The people who are buying firearms legally are not the ones committing the gun crimes so don't punish them!

[archiechoke]

I do like the idea of the hidden fee law.

[Wolfz]

11 % tax on weapons that’s Hilarious,

[dhampir]

Why not take kare of the border and and make crime illegal again.

As a man who was once "roofied" buy a drink some weirdo intended to give my female friend, I approve. Out for 24 hours, worst hangover ever.

[Paulygoku]

Also no mention of the increased gas tax..

[Cadillaclife]

Breaking The kits will either be free or the customer will have to pay for it!!! WHAT OTHER OPTION EXISTS!!! Top notch journalism!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[maxstein]

No one voted for these new laws except for the representatives and senators and it only benefits them, not us. 😞

It's something but still a joke. Some places require you to make 3x the rent to be considered for an apartment.... so if an apartment is 2k you need to make 6k.... who the hell makes 6k a month.... I don't... Thus is why I live in my car.
