"SB 4: Removes regulatory barriers to allow churches, religious organizations and non-profit colleges to build affordable housing on their land."
Aw, man. Rule of "unintended consequences".
People want churches to be able to help with the homeless crisis... even odds will get you an explosion of cults with creepy dormitory style arrangements...
I am not sure you can prevent crazy people from being crazy, thats just going to be one unfortunate side affect of a well intentioned rule.
Dang, California is making a lot of real progress. Nice work.
It's up to the states since the federal government is hamstrung.
Honestly, that’s why states exist in the first place. No one trusted the federal government from the beginning. California is just doing what it should.
Love that they’re not allowing online stores from hiding fees until a final purchase page. It must be visible with the price of the good.
Makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate or penalize an employee based on the person's use of cannabis off the job and away from the workplace. A similar law, SB 700, makes it illegal for an employer to ask a job applicant if they've used cannabis.
It's too bad this won't apply to anything governed by the DOT. Like driving trucks/busses.
I've heard the excuse from my employer is "we have federal contracts".
I like basically every bill except maybe AB 645 so this is great news! Way better than my state Alabama lol.

AB 645: Allows six cities - Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose - to install speed cameras. The law requires cities to put up signage warning drivers they could get a ticket if they don't slow down before approaching the speed camera.
Letting the tax-exempt organizations offer housing is just another player in the real estate land grab that’s happening. Now dumbass churches are going to turn into landlords. Do y’all remember the history of when that happened in Europe?
