"I'm from the Gubbbmint...
and I’m here to heeeeelp you."
New smoking bans on private property: CA, IL, Fwants!, Germany
Illinois now requires all retailers and wholesalers to start selling “fire-safe" cigarettes, which are designed to go out by themselves if not being smoked
Election Day voter registration law.
The stakes were upped for first-time drunken drivers, who will now have to pass a breath test every time they start their car. The law requires an estimated 30,000 first-time offenders to blow into devices that measure blood-alcohol content. If alcohol is detected, the car will not start.
IL: Counties may now establish drug schools as an alterative to traditional prosecution for drug offenders.
Kindergartners and 1st graders must undergo mandatory eye examinations.
Drivers must provide at least 3 feet of space between a vehicle and a pedestrian or bicyclist when passing
The Honolulu Liquor Commission [is] offering to arm parents with free saliva testing strips they can use to see whether their children have consumed alcohol.
AZ: The law threatens to take business licenses from companies caught twice knowingly hiring undocumented workers.
CA: can’t talk on your cell phone while you’re driving [unless ya use one of those Uhura ear thingies… *eye roll*] ...prohibit anything that would impair the recognition of a license plate by an electronic device...
I’m exhausted already from all this “help.”
Happy New Speak Year.
