Flood of New Laws Includes Protections for Kids and Science
The dawn of 2003 brings a record number of new laws into effect in California. More than a thousand new pieces of legislation took effect at the stroke of midnight.
Several of the laws address various aspects of science and medicine. One new piece of legislation challenges the federal government's position on stem cell research. Another encourages research using human embryos. A third bans human cloning.
The abortion-inducing drug RU-486 could get wider distribution starting January 1 when a new law gives nurses and physicians assistants permission to dispense the pills.
The start of the new year will also see new protections for farm workers. One law extends the statute of limitations for those who formerly worked in the Bracero Program trying and are trying to collect lost wages. A controversial law allowing agricultural workers to settle labor disputes through mediation takes effect January 1.
There are a number of new measures aimed at protecting the health and safety of children. One involves looking at ways to reduce textbook weight, in order to prevent spinal injuries among children who carry backpacks.
Students will also be allowed to use sunblock at school without a prescription.
New legislation also extends California's bicycle helmet law to scooters, skateboards, and skates. Children under 18 not wearing a helmet could face a $25 fine.

A prescription? For sunblock? Allowed to use it? I'm speechless.

Nazi Germany invoked laws in increments like this.
Fascists!
Meega, Nala Kweesta!

Students will also be allowed to use sunblock at school without a prescription. This is a slippery slope. First you allow them to use sunblock without a prescription, then the next thing you know they are shooting up heroin in the restrooms. Can't you see it? It's the same as giving a child a BB gun, then they start killing 7-Eleven night clerks for $40 in cash from the till. < /sarcasm>

Damn.. more new laws then ya can shake a stick at!
Doesn't it just make ya feel safer and more secure knowing the state pumpkinheads that brought us this deluge of BS are now hard at work on more new taXes as well.
Yes, we have a prize lot of socialzit demRats hacking away at our freedoms, riding around in luxury cars, waving at the adoring crowds on their way to their fund-raisers.
We are so blessed here in this Republic of California to have leaders who are so fiscally responsible and cautious. /sarc

Has it been determined whether or not Kalifornia legislators are actually members of the human race yet?
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
No. They are members of the 'master race'. I look for Gray Davis to fly the nazi flag any day now....
