New California Laws for 2012

Ringing in a new year means news laws, and this year, new California laws include:

Perhaps most controversial, the Dream Act allows in-state tuition rates for qualifying illegal immigrants.
Public schools must include lessons about historical achievements of gays/lesbians and the disabled
Cough syrup and other products containing dextromethorphan, e.g., Robitissin DM and Nyquil, will now require a prescription for purchase by minors.
Sale and distribution of shark fins is prohibited. This law targeted a Chinese delicacy, shark fin soup.
Beer with caffeine is also outlawed.
Parents must keep children in a car seat until the earlier of the age of eight, or the child reaches the height of four feet, nine inches.
Crossing double white lines on the highway is now illegal.
Open carry of unloaded firearms is now prohibited.
Tanning bed use by those under the age of 18 is now prohibited.
Internet retailers must collect California sales tax on transactions if the retailer has a presence in the state.
