California has announced they plan to.

I believe California will be the last state on the list to do something similar to this.

California please follow suit...

I hope other states decide to follow California's lead on this.

California passed a law that took effect in 2022.

I've seen it in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. California should get on board.

California has seriously discussed doing exactly that. But given the situation in DC, it is likely that they would be actively sabotaged by the federal government if they tried. So much for "states rights"....

What a great idea! I hope my state (California) and others follow suit.

California stepping up for States' Rights.

California in particular could quickly force their hand on this.

California? It says in the article that the decision is expected soon

shaklee3 | karma 2976 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2022-07-28 00:07:29

California renewed it for next year

cloakandswagger | karma 2453 | avg karma 4.36 · | 2016-08-30 13:17:15+00:00

That's what the government of the state of California did, not the Federal government.

California already has such a law. It's in the state constitution.

colejohnson66 | karma 9319 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2020-11-03 04:09:37+00:00

Last I heard, California was working on a law similar to that

xivzgrev | karma 2894 | avg karma 3.62 · | 2019-07-01 06:14:20+00:00

Fucking finally. I can’t wait for California to get their shit together on this. Now supporters there will have an analogy over the next 5-10 years

This same thing happened in Colorado a few months back, and I think California has a similar bill on the horizon
