The Sacramento Bee has a long list of laws that go into effect on 1 January 2010. It is a clear indication how our political nannies have been spending you hard earned money. Of the 26 laws listed which one did you find the most valuable and the most offensive. Please post in the comments. Sac Bee
Here's an alphabet soup look at some bills that become law on Jan. 1, whether we like them or not:
A is for alligator. SB 609 will extend from 2010 until 2015 a law that allows the importation of products made with alligator and crocodile parts.
B is for bicycles. SB 527 allows the operation of bikes without seats on state roads, as long as the bike was built that way on purpose.
C is for cows. SB 135 makes it a misdemeanor to chop off a cow's tail, except for when it's medically necessary.
D is for dental assistants. AB 667 authorizes dental assistants to apply fluoride to the teeth of school kids, under the "general direction" of a dentist.
E is for elevators. SB 478 allows non-state-certified mechanics to provide "routine" inspection and maintenance services to elevators at agricultural complexes.
F is for fruits and nuts. AB 945 continues a 95-year-old program that sets minimum standards for fruits, nuts and vegetables sold in the state. The program had been set to expire at the end of the year.
G is for graffiti. AB 576 legally defines local agencies as "victims" when it comes to graffiti vandalism. That will allow the agencies to seek restitution for cleanup from convicted vandals.
