"From a ban on cat declawing procedures to an attempt to protect children from harmful artificial intelligence companion chatbots, the California Legislature was busy in its final days of session this year, moving bills along to the governor. Of the nearly 2,400 bills introduced this session, only about a third of them were passed on to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his final approval, according to veteran Sacramento lobbyist Chris Micheli's tally. Newsom has until Oct. 13 to act on those bills sent his way."
"The legislature OK'd a pair of bills to prohibit local and federal law enforcement from concealing their faces with extreme masking. The bills came on the heels of increased immigration enforcement operations, particularly in the Los Angeles area, at the start of the second Trump administration. They were born amid growing concerns that a number of supposed agents in plain clothes are arresting undocumented immigrants, sowing uncertainty among both detainees and witnesses who can't tell if the individuals are legitimate law enforcement officers."
Nearly 2,400 bills were introduced in the session, and about one-third were passed to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has until Oct. 13 to act. Measures include a ban on cat declawing procedures and efforts to protect children from harmful artificial-intelligence companion chatbots. The legislature approved bills to prohibit local and federal law enforcement from concealing their faces with limited exceptions for tactical operations and undercover work. One bill requires nonuniformed officers to visibly display identification such as a name or badge number, with narrowly drawn exceptions. The measures responded to increased immigration enforcement operations and concerns about plainclothes arrests.
