tateattorney.com – just for the fun of it – here are lists of new California laws signed just on October 8 and 7, 2023 – i.e., something for everyone and every business, nonprofit, and governmental entity – David Tate, Esq. Headlines (and inactive CPA) – Trust, estate, probate and elder abuse disputes, litigation and contentious administrations; business litigation and internal and co-owner business disputes, litigation, and governance; real property and co-owner disputes and litigation; mediator and dispute resolution services; and social and digital media for law, people, businesses and legal risk management.

Just for the fun of it – the following are copies and pastes of October 8 and 7, 2023, announcements of new California enacted legislation (and also vetoes). Note that the below announcements are only announcements for October 8 and 7 (two announcements on October 8, and one announcement on October 7) – there are also many prior announcements of other additional new legislation signed in 2023, and I presume that there will be additional new announcements today and later this week as the deadline approaches. Essentially there is something for everyone and every business, nonprofit and governmental entity – keeping on top of this would be a fulltime job.
