NEW IN 2026: California laws taking effect in the new year

What you need to know: Starting January 1, a new set of California laws will take effect, impacting health care, housing, workplaces, schools, technology, and corporate disclosure requirements.

SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced key laws taking effect in 2026 that reflect California’s continued focus on public safety, affordability, transparency, and accountability.

“California is proving once again that progress isn’t something we talk about, it’s something we build. While some in Washington remain stuck debating yesterday’s problems, we’re focused on delivering real solutions for today’s families. These new laws reflect who we are: a state that protects workers, respects students, puts people before politics, and isn’t afraid to hold powerful interests accountable.”

Nobody adopts, rescues or purchases a cat with the hope the new pet will develop behavior problems. The dream you have of life with your new cat involves one of companionship, love, good behavior, and many long years together. Unfortunately though, things can go wrong for a variety of reasons and you may find yourself living with a cat who has now developed one or more unwanted behaviors. It’s frustrating, to say the least, for everyone concerned – most especially the cat. Link to article in comments.
