California is seeing a wave of proposed legislation aimed at regulating various aspects of transportation and public safety. One bill seeks to mandate annual registration and fees for all firearms in the state. Another bill aims to prohibit tolls for pedestrians and cyclists on the Golden Gate Bridge and all other California bridges, arguing that only motor vehicles should bear these costs due to their impact on infrastructure. Additionally, legislation has been introduced to double the penalties for protesters who obstruct traffic in a way that impedes emergency vehicles, as well as to double the fines for those blocking highway traffic. In the realm of personal transportation, a new bill could restrict the use of e-bikes for children under 12 and require older riders without a driver's license to pass a written test and obtain a state-issued ID.
