NEW YEAR, NEW LAWS: Cocktails-to-go, lower speed limits, and higher wages - check out the new laws going into effect today.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Every year, new laws are approved in California in the hope of tackling the problems people face in the Golden State.

Those taking effect on Jan. 1, 2022 range from wildfire management, minimum wage, traffic safety rules and mental health.Existing law prohibits, among other things, a person from setting fire or causing fire to be set to any forest, brush, or other flammable material that is on any land that is not the person's own. This had hampered efforts to clear overgrowth that fueled so many of the runaway wildfires in California over the last few years.

This bill reduces the liability of those who are doing prescribed control burns for the purpose of wildland fire hazard reduction in the hopes it will encourage more to get that dry fuel cleared up ahead of the next fire season.
