Throwing back to 1996…The Legislature & Gov. Wilson enacted the Class Size Reduction Program, which was intended to increase educational achievement by reducing average class sizes from 28.6 students to no more than 20 students. The state provided $530 million in grants to school districts to pay for portable classrooms & other costs associated with creating more classrooms
We know that people in cold climes pour salt on highways to deal with snow, but why has Hermosa Beach, CA, made it illegal to do so?!

Planning to sell a gold piece in California? Make sure it's got tooth marks on it, or it's considered a forgery!
We think spitting is a little gross anyway, but if you MUST spit while in Burlingame, CA, please keep it to baseball diamonds - otherwise it's illegal!
Throwing back to 1987… On September 27, 1987, CA Gov. George Deukmejian signed S.B. 1067 into law, making all in-state flights, trains, buses & other forms of public transportation 100% smoke free. State Sen. Nicolas Petris (D-Oakland) authored the measure after reading about the adverse health effects of passive smoking exposure in the U.S. Surgeon General's 1986 Report.
GET A DOGHOUSE! In California, animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.
Throwing back to 1982… The Victim's Bill of Rights granted crime victims a constitutional right to restitution. It expanded the relevant evidence that was permitted in criminal cases, plus gave victims and their families the right to express themselves at sentencing hearings. Proposition 8 was approved by 56.4% of California voters.
In Blythe, CA, one must own at least two cows to wear cowboy boots. Do you think there such strict rules about wearing mules? :)
Throwing back to 1979… The Domestic Violence Prevention Act gave courts the authority to grant temporary restraining orders in domestic violence cases. Legislation for the first time made it a crime, punishable as either a felony or misdemeanor, to rape one's spouse.
Tempting though it may be, keep in mind that you may not walk your pet lion down Market Street In San Francisco. That is, unless the lion is on its leash.
Throwing back to 1978… On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13, or People's Initiative to Limit Property Taxation, an amendment of the Constitution of California. Proposition 13 is embodied in Article XIII A of the Constitution of the State of California. The most significant part of the act is the first paragraph, which limited the tax rate for real estate: “Section 1. (a) The maximum amount of any ad valorem tax on real property shall not exceed 1% of the full cash value of such property. The 1% tax to be collected by the counties and apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties.” Pictured: Paul Gann, co-author, Proposition 13 (photo credit: unknown)

Throwing back to 1977… When California enacted the nation's largest tax-incentive program, encouraging development of solar energy. The following year, the state sets a goal of meeting 10 percent of its electrical needs with wind power by the year 2000.
We learned last week that San Francisco laws prevent people from storing things other than vehicles in their garages, but did you know that it's also illegal to keep vehicles inside SF apartments?! We're not sure why that would be a thing, but there you have it - no cars in the apartment! #crazylaws #californialaws
