Scout_51 0 Posted December 28, 2004 New Laws Affect Domestic Partners, ID Protection and Tanning Booths POSTED: 8:21 am PST December 27, 2004 UPDATED: 8:53 am PST December 27, 2004 There are new ways to fight back against e-mail spam and fresh protections of your Social Security numbers under California laws going into effect in a few days. Anyone under 18 will be banned from tanning booths without a doctor's OK, gee a doctors note to burn one self??????? and there's also a new ban on the sale of .50-caliber rifles. damm it! there goes the elephant hunt I was planning out on the east county... Most of the hundreds of laws that will take effect New Year's Day were signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the last year. After the new year, it will be unlawful for insurance companies in California to offer health insurance benefits that do not also cover the domestic partners of gay and lesbian employees. Aint gonna comment on this one..... And pharmacists will be allowed to sell up to 10 hypodermic needles without a prescription, thanks to legislation that aims to reduce disease transmission among drug users. hey we have to keep the druggies alive so they can stay a burden on the system...
