New laws going into effect in California in 2021

1
CA has a full time legislature, so bills get passed, signed or vetoed continuously. These are just a few.
California law enforcement must honor a gun violence restraining order issued in another state.
California’s juvenile justice correction centers will stop taking new inmates on July 1 as the state begins to transition responsibility for young offenders to individual counties.
Basically CA is getting out of the juvenile corrections business, it's all being pushed down to the counties, like they've done with a lot of adult corrections.
Former prisoners who worked as firefighters through a prison fire camp can petition to have their records expunged and parole waived.
Police officers can no longer use chokeholds or any restraint that compresses a person’s carotid arteries.
California’s attorney general must investigate when an officer-involved shooting results in the death of an unarmed person.
Counties can create a civilian oversight board or inspector general to independently oversee the work of a sheriff and, if needed, to issue subpoenas.
This law was in response to the bad behavior of the LA and Sacramento sheriffs.
California’s minimum wage rises to $14 an hour for large companies, with pay rising to $13 in workplaces with 25 or fewer employees.
California becomes the first state in the nation to impose regulations on student loan servicers similar to those for credit cards or mortgages. The law requires companies to inform borrowers about programs that can lower monthly payments or offer debt forgiveness, and it allows consumer lawsuits against companies that don’t comply.
A person who rescues an unattended and endangered child age 6 or younger from a vehicle can’t be held liable for any damage to the car or truck.
The retail sale of all dogs, cats and rabbits is no longer allowed. Shelter or rescue groups can offer pets for adoption in pet stores, as long as the store isn’t paid to display the animals.
