Too many to count, but here's one that just took effect in CA this year. Of course low flow faucets, toilets, etc. have been mandated for a while, but now if you remodel a kitchen or bathroom, you must replace anything that uses water in your house and isn't low flow.

These laws are passed like this. First some do-gooder libs push for something like forcing people to use low flow appliances for supposedly altruistic reasons. Then the faucet makers lobby the lawmakers and give them campaign cash. The legislators can claim they are only looking out for the public good, while they sell their votes.

We've lost the choice to use incandescent lights in our homes.
