Your Guide To New Laws On Housing, Climate, Worker Pay And... Skittles?

#167:  Over a thousand bills were sitting on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk, and he had until last Friday to sign them. Now the results are in: 890 new laws, and 156 potential ones that got vetoed.

A lot of these laws only involved minor tweaks to existing legislation, and some were things that only affect Sacramento, but some could have a big impact right here in L.A. — on issues like increased pay for healthcare and fast food workers, a path to more housing development, and increased abortion access.

There were also some things that could have been big, but didn’t get the governors stamp — like decriminalizing psychedelics.

Today, Alexei Koseff, a reporter with Cal Matters, helps us make sense of some of these new laws, and the Governor's reasoning behind some vetoes.
