New California Laws Effective July 1 Could Impact Students, Paychecks, Airbnb-Stays
1st July 2025
A wave of new California laws will take effect on July 1, touching nearly every corner of life, from subscriptions and short-term rentals to wages and student mental health.
Part of a broader package signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom during his latest legislative session, the measures aim to boost transparency, expand health coverage, raise wages, and improve access to legal and mental health support.
What it will inevitably actually do is expand government, hire more government workers, and increase taxes.
