SACRAMENTO – The governor will now choose whether California should ban the sale of shark fin soup, a Chinese delicacy that critics blame for imperiling progressively uncommon species. A bill that would ban the sale, possession and distribution of shark fins passed following an impassioned debate on the Senate floor. It was 1 of several expenses to make it to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk in the waning days of the legislative yr that stops Friday 9 Sept.

Other controversial expenses that passed the Legislature on Tuesday 6 Sept. consist of a ban on the use of the chemical bisphenol A in some children’s products and a measure that would prevent municipalities from prohibiting circumcision.

An attempt to torpedo a referendum work by the retail large Amazon failed. The firm needs voters to choose no matter whether to overturn a finances deal that needs on the web stores to shell out revenue tax. The invoice, which would stop this sort of a statewide vote, could be voted on later this week.
