Newsom also signed bills that open the gun industry to liability lawsuits if their weapons are used in crimes, to crack down on ghost guns and ban marketing of firearms to minors. On Monday, lawmakers approved AB257, which would give stronger bargaining rights to the more than half-a-million fast food workers across the state. The bill would set up a fast food council made up of workers, franchise owners and franchising companies like McDonald’s. The council would negotiate employee wages, working conditions and hours at fast food and other fast-casual eateries. While the bill sets out to reduce financial barriers for renters, it also provides provisions to safeguard landlords.

From 2017 to 2019, leave claims by workers making less than $20,000 a year declined while they rose for all other workers — increasing the most for those making $100,000 and above, according to the Employment Development Department. And under current law, lower-earning workers contribute a greater share of their paychecks to the program than higher earners because of the cap on taxing incomes above $145,600. More immediately, without this bill the current amount of benefits is set to expire and would return to 55% of a worker’s wages in January. Inslee, a three-term Democrat and former congressman who supported the federal assault weapons ban, requested House Bill 1240, along with Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and is expected to sign it. HB 1143 requires a 10-day waiting period and proof of completed safety training for all firearm purchases. The new requirements mirror those overwhelmingly approved by Washington voters in 2018 through I-1639, which applied to semiautomatic rifles.

Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, and legislative affairs director Shuwanza Goff were in regular contact with Johnson. Biden, the day after returning from a whirlwind trip to Tel Aviv following the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israel, used a rare prime time address to make his pitch for the supplemental funding. North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg quickly called out Trump for putting “American and European soldiers at increased risk.” Biden days later called Trump’s comments “dangerous” and “un-American” and accused his rival of playing into Putin’s hands.
WA HB1240 2023-2024 Regular Session
A crowd of gun-control activists and Democratic lawmakers broke into cheers as he signed the measures, which he said would not solve all gun violence but would save lives. If the Attorney General issues a civil investigative demand regarding a potential violation of these restrictions, the recipient of the demand may file in Superior Court a petition to extend the time to respond, or modify or set aside the demand for good cause. Additionally, the Attorney General is prohibited from sharing any materials or information obtained through a civil investigative demand with any law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation, unless required to do so pursuant to a search warrant.

The overall amount of money provided to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons from the U.S. is roughly the same in the House and Senate bills — $13.8 billion. The campaign has said that they have gathered more than 500,000 signatures -- surpassing the necessary threshold, but will continue to gather signatures "until the wheels fall off," a spokesperson told ABC News. "At the end of the day, your politics is important but it is not worth our souls," he said.

As CBS News reports, 53% of renters in California have the financial capacity to manage their monthly rent but find themselves hamstrung by the crippling cost of security deposits. The majority of Californians being priced out of otherwise affordable housing necessitates revisiting and revising outdated regulations. Assembly Bill 12 (AB12) has introduced a cap on rental security deposits in California, sparking discourse among landlords and tenants alike.

Inslee also signed SB 5078, introduced by Sen. Jamie Pedersen, to require firearm manufacturers and retailers to take reasonable steps to enforce existing laws, track their inventories, and prevent sales to straw purchasers or those at risk of harming themselves or others. This is the reality facing families and communities across the nation, but lawmakers in Washington state hope to change that. It allows the attorney general or private parties, such as the family members of victims, to sue over violations or damages. The White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, praised Washington state officials for passing the ban on selling specific semi-automatic weapons. President Joe Biden “commends the leadership of Washington Governor Jay Inslee and legislative leaders as well as the advocates, survivors and elected officials who fought for years to make today a reality”, she said. The legislation goes on to further define additional assault weapons affected by the ban.

She’s now asking state lawmakers to pass the proposed bill that would ban the sale and manufacturing of guns defined as assault weapons. HB 1143 mandates new gun owners to complete a training course on how to safely store and manage guns and understand self-defense laws. Senate Bill 5078 clarifies legal liabilities for gun manufacturers who allow straw purchases, sell guns to people prohibited from buying guns, or market to children. Washington House Bill 1240 bans more than 50 gun models, including rifles that fire one bullet per trigger pull and automatically reload for a subsequent shot. Existing legal owners can retain assault weapons they currently own, Inslee said in a news release. Gun owners can also sell their assault weapons to a "licensed retailer" who can sell them out-of-state.

Three students and three staff members of The Covenant School were killed by a former student. Citizens can still own assault-style rifles — but they will not be able to buy or import most AR-type weapons after HB 1240 is signed. Now signed, HB 1240 takes effect immediately, while SB 5078 will take effect 90 days after the adjournment of the legislative session and HB 1143 will take effect January 1, 2024. The ban comes after multiple failed attempts in the state’s Legislature, and amid the most mass shootings during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009. The hostel once housed college students whose parents died in the 1994 genocide, the most horrific period in this African nation’s history, when an estimated 800,000 Tutsis were killed by extremist Hutus in massacres that lasted over 100 days.
But Newsom, citing a strained electric grid during heat waves like the one forecasted to settle over the west until next week, offered a proposal to loan $1.4 billion to PG&E to keep the San Luis Obispo plant open until 2035. While Assembly Bill 12 standardizes the security deposit amount for most landlords in California, it also acknowledges the unique position of smaller property owners. As such, there is a specific exemption for small landlords who own just two properties, provided the total units between these properties do not exceed four. This provision offers flexibility and lessens the potential financial strain on landlords who operate on a smaller scale than larger property management entities. The true magnitude of the problem is further clarified when considering the barriers these hefty security deposits impose.
The legislation defines assault weapons through a list of specific firearms and a list of attributes, echoing definitions in other states. Current owners can keep assault weapons they currently own, and licensed dealers are permitted supply any branch of the military or law enforcement agency. The program permits the U.S. government to collect without a warrant the communications of non-Americans located outside the country to gather foreign intelligence. The reauthorization faced a long and bumpy road to final passage Friday after months of clashes between privacy advocates and national security hawks pushed consideration of the legislation to the brink of expiration.
Lawmakers placed Prop 1 on the November ballot earlier this year, which would enshrine the right to an abortion in the California Constitution. Legislative leaders and Newsom have hailed California as a “reproductive freedom state” and “sanctuary” for patients to come and receive care. Earlier Wednesday, Newsom made a final push for his climate package and extension of the nuclear plant as temperatures began to rise.
