Good morning.

(Here’s the sign-up, if you don’t already get California Today delivered to your inbox.)

On Friday, we took a close look at one of the highest profile laws to take effect in California at the start of the year, aimed at giving consumers new rights to know what personal data companies are collecting and how they’re using it.

But at the beginning of the year, lots more laws officially went into effect. Hundreds of them.

(To be more specific, 870 laws were enacted in last year’s regular session, according to a state report. But some of them — like Assembly Bill 420, which established a cannabis research program — went into effect immediately, while others won’t go into effect until later.)

As I’ve mentioned, we’ll dig into some of the more complicated new rules in coming weeks.

The state’s new rent cap, a major step meant to address the housing crisis, is one of those.
