Hello Fellow Californians.

As we all know, California is in the midst of a financial meltdown.  Be that as it may, as of January 1, 2009, over 700 new laws took effect for the golden state, which I call home. 

Earlier today I tried to find a comprehensive list of these new laws only to discover that, apparently, my grasp exceeded my reach.  That is, all I could find were either partial lists, ripe with commentary, or articles featuring only the most publicized statutes.  While I do enjoy reading editorial comments, from time-to-time, I prefer to make up my own mind after reviewing original material; in this case, signed legislative bills. 

After much, much searching on the internet without success, I finally called Governor Schwarzenegger’s office and, while not receiving a succinct answer, I was able to locate the following two resources for those of us who want to not only talk-the-talk but, like an Egyptian, walk-the-walk.

To review all of the state of California legislative bills that were signed into law in 2008 and took effect on January 1, 2009:

1.
From your computer browser go to:
http://gov.ca.gov/bills

2.
2.
Click the link labeled “All Bills Acted On”.  You will see a table with all of the bills either vetoed or signed during the 2007-2008 legislative session.

3.
Note the number of the bill you wish to read.

4.
From your computer browser, go to the California State Legislature Bill Search Engine at:
http://www.legislature.ca.gov/port-bilinfo.html

5.
Complete the search engine fields and then click the search button.

NOTE 1:
In order to view bills that took effect on January 1, 2009, you must select 2007-2008 in the Session selecting field.

NOTE 2:
In the field labeled “House” leave the default selection which is “Both”.

Happy New Year, Good Luck, and Enjoy.
