Governor Jerry Brown recently gave the thumbs up to a myriad of bills in the past weeks of this month. Many of these bills will affect all of us, either immensely or hardly at all. Either way, it’s a good idea to stay up to speed about some instrumental factors that can change the way we live in California. Here are just a few of those bills that may affect Californian’s lives. Bill: AB 30 is sponsored by Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville. It is focused on mascots within schools that may possess an offensive connotation. This bill bans the term “Redskins” from being used in any schools across California. Next is the Senate Bill 792, which is sponsored by Senator Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia. Its focus is on Day Care Workers. The overall goal is to make sure all day care workers and volunteers have received a vaccination for influenza, measles, and pertussis. The Assembly Bill 1461’s goal is to increase voter participation throughout California. This bill is sponsored by Assembly members Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego; Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville; and Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento. Californians, who drive a vehicle, with a driver’s license of course, are automatically registered to vote. The bills concerning medical marijuana, bills AB 243, AB 266, and SB 643, are sponsored by Assemblyman Jim Wood; D-Healdsburg, Assemblyman Rob Bonta; D-Alameda; Senator Mike McGuire; D-Healdsburg. This will help provide a systematic base for not only regulating the production of marijuana but the distribution, as well. The SB 27 Bill’s, sponsored by Senator Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, goal is to prohibit the administration of antibiotics into livestock with hopes of an end result for them to gain weight and limit their use to treat diseases. Overall, this will decrease the overuse of antibiotics that could possibly cause germs to become resistant. The ABX2-15, sponsored by Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman; D-Stockton, gives all California residents the right to end their lives early. In the unfortunate situation that anyone is facing a terminal condition, this permits the idea of asking your doctor for life-ending drugs. AB 990 Bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Susan A. Bonilla; D-Concord, aims at improving the clarity in political advertisements to help benefit Californians so it is easy to understand what the argument, the issues or the candidate is showcasing within the advertisement. The bill SB 604 which is sponsored by Assemblywoman Kristin M. Olsen; R-Modesto, will allow the use of electric skateboards on streets and trails. However, all riders must wear helmets and the minimum age allowed to ride on streets is 16. The AB 216 bill focuses on vaping sales. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, D-Bell Gardens prohibits children under 18 buying vape products that don’t have nicotine in them. The goal is to overall protect younger children from them, which has been said to be a gateway to real cigarettes. The bill AB 1095, sponsored by Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia; D-Coachella, will help the Salton Sea as over the next few years, restoration of the shoreline’s habitat will take place. The SB 350 bill, sponsored by Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de Leon; D-Los Angeles, aims to slow down climate change, in hopes of, by 2030, having half of California’s electricity be wind and solar powered. Bill AB 768, sponsored by Assemblyman Tony Thurmond; D-Richmond, prohibits any professional baseball players from chewing tobacco when they play in any of the stadiums throughout California in hopes of setting a better example for younger aspiring baseball players.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.
