Here are 14 new laws Californians must start following in 2023​

Hundreds of new laws passed by the California Legislature will take effect in the new year, from legalizing jaywalking in many scenarios to a higher minimum wage for more workers. Most of them take effect on Jan. 1. Here are 14 new laws coming to California in 2023:

Jaywalking: Pedestrians will no longer be cited for crossing the street outside of a crosswalk, unless they are in immediate danger of being hit. AB2147 by Assembly Member Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, prohibits police officers from stopping or citing people for jaywalking “unless a reasonably careful person would realize there is an immediate danger” of a collision with a vehicle or bicyclist.

Minimum wage: California’s $15 minimum wage will expand to nearly all employees, including those working for small businesses. The hourly wage hike applies to employees of businesses with 25 or fewer workers. It’s the final step in a seven-year plan to phase in a statewide $15 minimum wage, which extended to employees of larger businesses in 2022. Legislators approved the wage increases with SB3 in 2016, by then-Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco. Many cities in the Bay Area have ordinances that require a higher base wage.

Mental illness:By October 2023, San Francisco and six other California counties will begin to implement a new system called Care Court that aims to get severely mentally ill people off the streets and into treatment. SB1338 will create a new way for family, community members, probation officers and others to refer people with psychotic disorders like schizophrenia into treatment. Under the law, judges will order people to participate in treatment plans and require counties to provide services to them. All counties must begin the program by December 2024.

Housing: Developers looking to build housing in sleepy commercial areas, such as vacant parking lots, strip malls and office parks, will have an option to fast-track their projects. AB2011 by Assembly Member Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, streamlines zoning and permit approvals for housing in many urban areas, as long as about 15% of rental units will be designated affordable. Wicks’ bill also allows developers to hire non-union workers for the projects so long as they pay such workers prevailing wages and offer health benefits. The bill takes effect July 1.

Abortion: Nurse practitioners will be able to perform first-trimester abortions without a doctor’s supervision under another new law taking effect in 2023. SB1375 by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, is one of about a dozen new laws that aim to increase abortion access in California, some of which have already taken effect.

Gunmaker lawsuits: Companies that make or sell illegal firearms in California could face a host of new lawsuits. SB1327 by Sen. Robert Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys (Los Angeles County, allows private citizens to sue firearm manufacturers and dealers in civil court, with a minimum bounty of at least $10,000, if they sell assault weapons or ghost guns, including precursor parts, in California. The bill’s bounty-hunter provision, using private lawsuits as an enforcement mechanism, is modeled on a restrictive Texas abortion law. A related bill, AB1594 by Ting, will allow California residents, its attorney general and local governments to sue gunmakers and sellers for harm their products cause if they break state law. It mostly takes effect July 1.

Criminal records: Many people will prior convictions or arrests will be able to shield that past from criminal background checks. SB731 by State Sen. Maria Elena Durazo, D-Los Angeles, will not erase a person’s criminal record but will let people have their record electronically sealed from public view. Prior offenders qualify only if they’ve completed all terms of their court sentence, including any prison or probation time, and kept clear of the justice system. The option won’t be available to people convicted of a serious or violent felony, such as murder, kidnap, rape or any crime that requires a person to register as a sex offender. The law takes effect July 1, 2023.

COVID misinformation: Doctors who spread incorrect claims about COVID-19, including about the effectiveness of vaccines and untested treatments for people who get infected, will more easily face discipline. AB2098 by Assembly Member Evan Low, D-Sunnyvale, makes it easier for the Medical Board of California to discipline physicians who spread incorrect claims about COVID-19 by defining such activity as “unprofessional conduct” under state law. The medical board is the state agency charged with licensing and disciplining physicians, and it can suspend a doctor’s license or mandate probation for misconduct. Two anti-vaccine doctors, backed by conservative activists and the left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union, are already challenging the law in court.

Student athletes: Many college athletes in the state will be guaranteed the ability to make money off the use of their names and images. SB206 by Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, will apply to athletes at California public and private universities that make at least $10 million a year from intercollegiate athletics media rights, which covers most major universities in the state. Under the bill passed in 2019, the NCAA cannot prohibit third parties from paying athletes for endorsements and appearances. The bill nudged the NCAA to adopt an interim rule, in 2021, lifting its national ban prohibiting athletes from engaging in such activity.

Loitering: Police will no longer be allowed to arrest and cite people whom they suspect of walking the streets in search of sex work. SB357 by state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, repeals a 1995 law that prohibits loitering in public places with the “intent to commit prostitution.” LGBTQ advocates labeled the loitering prohibition a “walking while trans” ban because they said it resulted in police targeting transgender women and women of color over innocuous factors like how they dress or where they stand on the street.

Fur: Fashionistas will no longer be able to buy new mink coats or chinchilla vests. AB44 by Assembly Member Laura Friedman, D-Glendale (Los Angeles County), outlaws the sale and manufacture of new fur clothing and accessories. The law passed in 2019, but legislators delayed implementation until 2023 to give retailers time to unload their inventories. Retailers can still sell secondhand fur clothing or decor. The ban won’t apply to faux fur, which is generally made from plastics. It also doesn’t apply to leather, taxidermied animals, cowhides and the full skin of deer, sheep and goats.

Salary transparency: California employers with more than 15 employees will need to start including pay scales in their job postings in 2023. SB1162 by Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, also requires employers to give workers the pay scale for their jobs and maintain job title and wage history data for each employee. That data will be subject to inspection by the state labor commissioner, who could impose fines of up to $10,000 for violations. Limón said the measure is aimed at helping women and people of color close pay gaps with their white, male coworkers.

Lunar New Year: Asian Americans and others who celebrate Lunar New Year will have a new state holiday to mark the occasion. AB2596 by Assembly Member Evan Low, D-Sunnyvale, establishes Lunar New Year as a state holiday and allows any state employees to take a day off in observation. Lunar New Year, a major celebration in many Asian cultures, is typically observed at the end of January or the beginning of February, when the first new moon of the year starts. The date of the holiday will vary by year, but will typically correspond with the second new moon following the winter solstice.

California Restaurant Owners Say They Have Enough Signatures to Block Fast-Food Minimum-Wage Law

A coalition of business groups and California fast-food franchisees says it has collected more than a million signatures in opposition to a new state law that would create an unelected fast-food council to micromanage the industry, could cripple the industry with a drastic increase in its minimum wage, and could send the cost of food soaring.

Justice Gorsuch Accuses Colorado of Forcing Christian Baker to Undergo ‘Reeducation Program’

CAROLINE DOWNEY
The Save Local Restaurants coalition announced Monday that organizers began submitting the signatures at the county level in late November. The signatures, which were due Monday, are expected to be transferred to the California secretary of state’s office in the next week or so.

The coalition needs to have collected about 623,000 signatures from registered California voters to put the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act, or FAST Act, on the 2024 general election ballot and to block its implementation until voters have had a say.

Matthew Haller, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association, called the FAST Act “one of the single most damaging pieces of legislation for local restaurants and California consumers.” Opponents of the law say it would increase food prices by as much as 20 percent, and it would hurt small fast-food businesses across the state.

“The FAST Act would have an enormous impact on Californians, and clearly voters want a say in whether it should stand,” read a prepared statement from the Save Local Restaurants coalition. The coalition was spearheaded by the International Franchise Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Restaurant Association, and various franchise owners and brands.

The FAST Act – Assembly Bill 257 – was narrowly approved by the California legislature on August 29, and signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on Labor Day. The law allows for the creation of a new ten-member, unelected council specifically to micromanage the state’s fast-food industry. It would have broad powers to impose new rules and regulations on thousands of fast-food and counter-service restaurants, including the ability to raise the minimum wage at most of California’s fast-food restaurants next year from $15 an hour to $22 – a nearly 50 percent jump, with cost-of-living adjustments each year. The council’s regulations would apply to any fast-food restaurant that is part of a chain with 100 or more locations.

The Service Employees International Union of California and other proponents of the FAST Act have claimed that it was needed to prevent wage theft and sexual harassment prevalent in fast-food restaurants, and to combat a general lack of compliance with existing regulations.

But business groups in California and nationally say there’s little evidence the problems the law is allegedly designed to cure are worse in the fast-food industry than in others. Instead, they say, the effort is a powerplay by the SEIU and Big Labor, which has struggled for years to organize California’s fast-food industry. Labor leaders could use their significant influence on the council as a bargaining lever with the small business owners who predominantly run the state’s fast-food restaurants.

Opponents of the measure say it will lead owners to reduce hours, raise prices, cut jobs, and increasingly turn to technological replacements. Other industries outside fast food would be pressured to raise their own wages – and likely their prices as well – to compete for workers, worsening already high inflation.

Opponents also see the FAST Act as a union-backed ploy to plant the seed for a form of what is known as sectoral bargaining in the U.S. In sectoral bargaining, which is common in Europe, workers negotiate compensation and working conditions across an industry, not workplace by workplace. That is not legal in the U.S., but the FAST Act comes close, allowing the council – with the SEIU’s help – to dictate workplace standards and minimum-wage rates.

According to the law, to establish the Fast Food Council, at least 10,000 fast-food employees would have to support a petition supporting its creation. The council would include two representatives of franchisors, two representatives of franchisees, two representatives of fast-food employees, two representatives of employee advocates, and one representative each from the state Department of Industrial Relations and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development. The members would be appointed by the governor or by legislative leaders — all Democrats in California. The four business representatives on the council would likely be outvoted on many issues.

In October, the SEIU filed a complaint with California’s secretary of state’s office and with the attorney general’s office alleging that signature-gatherers affiliated with the Save Local Restaurants coalition were “willfully misleading voters” into believing they were signing a petition to increase the minimum wage. The coalition called the complaint “frivolous.”

Hmmmm. So they claim the new gun law is modeled after a Texas law on abortion.

How does that work? Guns are actually the premise of the 2nd amendment. I can't find a single amendment that talks about abortion.

They already have been. It’s called welfare, wic, section 8 and all the other programs for these poor unfortunate souls.
It it used to be called AFDC, you received real food, 'Commodities,' before that switched over to 'Food Stamps,' now WIC.
There was no Section 8. The Commodities were awesome. Big tins of canned meat/Spam, peanut butter, real butter, cheese.
Escondido in 1969 was a Paradise. Escape from LA. Riches to Rags. Mom worked PT in a Kennel in Esco. We had always raised, bred, and showed Pekinese dogs. Paid off, awesome Kennel, not even like work, like my Mom's Cousin Earl put me to. LOL. Pimped me out as Grove/Grounds keeper, Gardener. which was wicked cool awesome. Cars, trucks tractors, horses, orange, and avocado groves, Bonus! Produce!

A lot better than just bread and milk. Thank God mom moved us out of Pasadena!

Democrats have had control of both house’s and didn’t get the job done. Don’t shift the blame on Republicans again, your failure is on the Democrats. Newsom should take Biden to the border hold his hand and explain to him what’s going wrong at the border. Build the wall, enforce existing laws and stop this invasion at border.

Or just shoot them all in the head, and put people in place that will protect and serve Americans.

All these fucking cunts need lobotomies.

No I don’t believe Newsome is “running” at all.
First off, there is no “running”.
There is only “placing”.
Has everyone already forgotten what we saw in 2020?

Frankly Gavin has like zero global standing or pull, and even if the 3 CA ruling families all lobbied for it, and paid the entry fees, they and him simply do not have the political currency.
any fund raising will be directly dipping into the cabals private stock.
Ain’t happening. Maybe if he was black they’d consider him, but think about it. Gavin is bush league compared to Satan, big Mike, and a slew of entrenched DC operators who, btw, are also in the pedo club.
No, Gavin will not be anywhere near the top ticket.
He’s got about as much chance as Trump, or any rep “candidate”

Wait a minute - we're supposed to be attacking Asians now? Or is that now passé ?
