California will see several radical laws go into effect on Sunday, January 1, including a law making the state a \u201csanctuary\u201d for \u201ctransgender kids,\u201d and a law imposing penalties on doctors for COVID \u201cmisinformation.\u201d
\nHere are the five most radical new laws \u2014 plus one that is currently on hold in the courts \u2014 taking place on New Year\u2019s Day in the Golden State, with little effective opposition from a shrinking Republican legislative minority:
\n1.\u00a0SB 107: \u2018Sanctuary State\u2019 for \u2018Transgender Kids\u2019\u00a0\u2013 This law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in September, protects the use of drugs or surgery to provide so-called \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d 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.
\n2.\u00a0AB 2098: \u2018COVID Misinformation\u2019\u00a0\u2013 This law, signed in September, requires California\u2019s medical licensing boards to take disciplinary action against doctors who are involved with the \u201cdissemination of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or \u2018COVID-19\u2019.\u201d The law does not take into account the fact that authorities like Dr. Anthony Fauci changed their recommendations over time.
\n3.\u00a0AB 2147: Decriminalizing Jaywalking Because of Racism\u00a0\u2013 This law, called the \u201cFreedom to Walk Act,\u201d presumes that jaywalking is a racist crime because it is supposedly enforced unevenly \u2014 by the nation\u2019s most left-wing state \u2014 in \u201ccommunities of color\u201d 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.
\n4.\u00a0SB 1375: Allowing Nurses to Perform Abortions Without Doctors\u00a0\u2013 This law attempts to expand access to abortion by allowing qualified nurses to perform certain abortion procedures in the first trimester of pregnancy without the supervision of a doctor. This new law will take effect alongside a new provision in the California constitution, passed by a referendum in 2022, guaranteeing the right to abortion and contraception.
\n5.\u00a0SB 357: Decriminalizing Loitering for Prostitution\u00a0\u2013 This law, another by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), decriminalizes loitering in public for the purpose of committing prostitution (which remains a crime). It also allows those convicted of such loitering to petition courts for the dismissal and sealing of their cases. The law aims to remove the social stigma of sex work; it also comes amid a statewide crime wave.
\nOn hold:\u00a0AB 257:\u00a0State Control of Fast Food Restaurants\u00a0\u2013 As reported last year by Breitbart News, this law \u201ccreates a ten-member politburo, known as the Fast Food Council, which would serve for ten years\u201d and would set wages and working conditions for the fast food industry. It has been\u00a0suspended\u00a0by the courts, after a coalition of restaurants that collected petition signatures law sued to block it until a referendum can be held.
\nNewsom has signed several other radical laws that go into effect in future years. He is currently thought to be mulling a run for president, and is establishing a national reputation as a left-wing leader on cultural issues.<\/p>\n
