It's been a busy legislative session in California. Governor Gavin Newsom ended the session last Sunday by announcing he had signed 870 bills into law.

A select few pieces of legislation received lots of public attention, like a first-in-the-nation law paving the way for college athletes to hire agents and make money from endorsement deals, just like the pros.

But many new laws slipped under the radar, as Newsom sprinted to sign bill after bill. You may have completely missed the changes to school start times, abortion pill access and gun control in California — and we don't blame you. Many of the new laws were signed in the final days of the legislative session, when local news was dominated by a massive PG&E blackout.

The power is back on — for now — so it's a good time to catch up on what you missed from Sacramento. Click through the gallery at the top of this story for a look at California's new laws, and a few vetoes from Gov. Newsom.

October 13 was the last day for the governor to sign laws that had been passed by the state assembly and senate in the previous session. Many of the new laws will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020. The legislature is on recess until it reconvenes on Jan. 6, 2020.
