The headline is false. First, the article is about a law that has been proposed, not passed and signed. Second, the article says the requirement would apply to new houses and houses that are sold, excluding houses that don’t change hands.
I think the proposed law is a very bad idea ... but dangit, why can’t people just say things that are factually accurate?
Hey, I didn’t write it. LOL! But yeah, it sure looks like a scare tactic header but, knowing how the calibfornia law makers work, it might just pass. After all, it’s for muvver erf.
