Newbyte: CA passes 3 new health care laws
Califonia gov. Jerry Brown made his way through approximately 140 proposed laws in time for a midnight deadline. Among the new CA laws passed are the following:
- Insurers are required to provide autism coverage.
- Children aged 12 and above are given access to STD-preventive care sans parental consent.
- Cancer-causing tanning beds are now illegal for use by teenagers under the age of 18, in an effort to curb early-onset skin cancer and exposure to known carcinogens.
