Governor of California Vetoes Drone Legislation
In a recent development, California Governor Jerry Brown has signed into law the "Pacific to Plate" bill, also known as AB 226. This legislation allows for seafood markets to operate in public areas, similar to farmers markets. However, it's important to note that this bill does not affect the operation of digital platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, and email.
Meanwhile, the implementation of California's net neutrality law, the one passed last month, is currently on hold. The specific net neutrality law in question is the "Pacific to Plate" bill, despite its misleading name. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra recently reached a deal with the DOJ to delay the implementation of the state's toughest net neutrality law.
Interestingly, Governor Jerry Brown's veto of Senate Bill 142, which concerned drone flights over private property in California, has left officials and the public in the dark. Despite extensive search results, no authoritative or detailed reason for the veto has been found. If you seek this information, official statements from California’s Governor’s office or legislative archives for the time of the bill’s consideration should be consulted.
It's worth mentioning that the "Pacific to Plate" bill does define Fishermen's Markets in state law. However, it is a separate law from the net neutrality law and does not have any direct impact on it.
As the dust settles on these legislative changes, Californians can look forward to new opportunities in seafood markets, while the future of the state's net neutrality law remains uncertain. Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
- California's politics and policy-and-legislation have taken two divergent paths in the past month, with the "Pacific to Plate" bill empowering seafood markets, but the implementation of the state's net neutrality law being put on hold.
- While the "Pacific to Plate" bill significantly alters California's general-news by allowing seafood markets in public places, the future of the state's net neutrality law, a separate piece of legislation, remains uncertain due to a delay in its implementation.
