New California laws coming in 2024 will have a direct impact on people’s every day lives. One is to deter last-minute campsite reservation cancellations and no-shows. Campers may lose reservation fees plus the cost of a reservation’s first night when they cancel their booking at the last minute. The law aims to improve public access to the state’s best outdoor spaces. Another law brings gender-neutral toy sections to retailers. The purpose of the law is to ease stereotypes about what kinds of toys children should play with and to level toy pricing structure. Mobile pharmacies serving homeless people will be able to dispense opioid addiction treatments starting next year. Lawmakers and the Governor say the law is an important step to help address the overdose crisis fueled by fentanyl.
