California’s Crazy New Year: Five Radical Laws Go into Effect (One on Hold)

Breitbart ^ | 1 Jan 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

[E. Pluribus Unum]

California will see several radical laws go into effect on Sunday, January 1, including a law making the state a “sanctuary” for “transgender kids,” and a law imposing penalties on doctors for COVID “misinformation.”

Here are the five most radical new laws — plus one that is currently on hold in the courts — taking place on New Year’s Day in the Golden State, with little effective opposition from a shrinking Republican legislative minority:

1. SB 107: ‘Sanctuary State’ for ‘Transgender Kids’ – This law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in September, protects the use of drugs or surgery to provide so-called “gender-affirming care” to children from other states where the use of such treatments is restricted or criminalized. It prohibits doctors from releasing information to other states, and prohibits California courts interfering in child custody over such treatments.

2. AB 2098: ‘COVID Misinformation’ – This law, signed in September, requires California’s medical licensing boards to take disciplinary action against doctors who are involved with the “dissemination of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or ‘COVID-19’.” The law does not take into account the fact that authorities like Dr. Anthony Fauci changed their recommendations over time.

3. AB 2147: Decriminalizing Jaywalking Because of Racism – This law, called the “Freedom to Walk Act,” presumes that jaywalking is a racist crime because it is supposedly enforced unevenly — by the nation’s most left-wing state — in “communities of color” where people supposedly cannot afford to pay the fines. The law prevents police from stopping people who are crossing the street illegally unless they are in danger.

So a person of color jay walking and you run them over you are at fault

I feel sorry for anyone still stuck in Commiefornia.

[nickcarraway]

How many people are actually arrested for jaywalking? I see it happen all the time and the police don’t even bother.

[Bob434]

So can the states who said “2 weeks to flatten the curve” and “bear with us, this will be over shortly” and “the vaccine prevents the virus” etc be penalized for misinformation?

[oh8eleven]

... in “communities of color” where people supposedly cannot afford to pay the fines

A few years ago, Rochester, NY stopped giving out tickets for making illegal "right on red" turns for the same reason.
If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sounds like the jackass “lawmakers” in Cauliphonya are running out of ideas for new “laws”. ROTFL! Cauliphonya voters are real losers. They deserve what they get.

[ridesthemiles]

THEY NEED AN INTERVENTION to wake them up.

[iontheball]

I feel sorry for anyone still stuck in Commiefornia.

The concern is that’s where a lot of the crazy begins before it spreads East. To make matters worse, we have crazies now fleaing their self-created hell hole to spread crazy to red state locales so they can destroy them next. They won’t be going to other existing hell holes across the country. When they get to where they’re going they will then want everyone living there to believe they know how to run things.

“How many people are actually arrested for jaywalking?”

Long ago I was ticketed for jaywalking in CA, and I’m NOT diverse. So I’m cool with this one.

That goes without saying. When I took driver’s ed back in the 60s we were told that pedestrians always have the right of way.

In other states pedestrians usually look before crossing the street, but in Cal, it almost seems they refuse to look around, confident that they are carrying a legal shield.

They forgot one

Or how about California doctors who repeated establishment claims about the vaccine’s effectiveness?

Of course these are rhetorical questions since application of the law will be 100% political and capricious.

If some freak from California abducts one of our kids then I hope they like being skinned alive.

This is the incident that led to the jaywalking law:

Note that the man never jaywalked.

My Aunt and Uncle have lived in Ca for over 60 years. They are almost 90 and are moving to NC! I’m happy for them.
