Crazy California Laws

This is what you get when the lefties go unchecked. Governor Gruesome Newsom is signing crazy laws like, well, a crazy man.  Here's a brief list of some laws signed in the last week or so.

Hotels can't provide bottles of shampoo:
When you stay in a hotel, do you like to take home those little bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel from the bathroom? Better get them while you can, because they're going to become real collector's items in California.

This week, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that bans hotels from giving out toiletries in individual-sized plastic bottles. It won't take effect until 2023 and 2024, depending on the size of the hotel, but it's symptomatic of a much broader trend in the travel industry to eliminate the use of plastics at hotels, airlines and cruise lines.
Private property owners required to give access to beach:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Wednesday that would open Hollister Ranch, a 14,400-acre piece of private property in Santa Barbara County that includes about 8.5 miles of shoreline, to the public.
New fur sales and circus animals banned:
California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products and the third to bar most animals from circus performances under a pair of bills signed Saturday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The fur law bars residents from selling or making clothing, shoes or handbags with fur starting in 2023.
Flouting federal law, so-called medical marijuana allowed in K-12 schools:
California schools will get to decide if parents can administer medical marijuana to their children on school campuses. 

Legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom reverses a current prohibition on cannabis within 1,000 feet of K-12 campuses. School districts will have the final say on whether they will allow it.

The law that will take effect Jan. 1. Newsom announced Wednesday that he signed it.

Firearms laws:  only one firearm purchase a month, just about anyone and his brother can file a "red flag" concern and have a person's legal firearms confiscated by the state, etc.:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday signed 15 gun control bills into law, which expands the Golden State's already stringent gun laws, the Los Angeles Times reported. Newsom has made a name for himself because of his calls for stricter gun laws, specifically surrounding an assault weapons ban, high capacity magazine ban and the implementation of Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), commonly referred to as red flag laws. He said the state decided to take up these bills because of Washington's inaction, a clear reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) refusal to take up bills he knows President Donald Trump refuses to sign into law.
Smoking and vaping will not be allowed in state parks and beaches:
California will ban smoking on state parks and beaches starting next year under legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The law also bans disposing cigar and cigarette waste at parks and beaches. Violations of the law will be punishable by a fine of up to $25. Newsom, a Democrat, announced Friday he had signed the bill into law.

It covers smoking traditional cigarettes as well as using electric smoking devices. Smoking will still be allowed in parking lots at beaches and parks. Film and television productions can still allow people to smoke on state property with the proper permits.
Statewide rent control:
In a move aimed at stemming the tide of skyrocketing rents that have helped spur a statewide housing crisis, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a sweeping rent cap bill into law Tuesday.

Beginning in January, landlords in California will face limits on how high they can raise rents...

Proponents have hailed the new law, which will be retroactive to March 2019 in an attempt to aid tenants whose landlords recently boosted rents ahead of the bill signing, as an important step toward addressing the state’s housing crisis, which is particularly acute in the Bay Area.
These are just the ones I've heard about recently.  Don't forget that plastic straws and complimentary grocery bags have already been banned.
