New 2018 California laws include the following:

Proposition 64, which was enacted by the voters in the general election in November 2016, became effective in January 2018. This proposition changes the state laws concerning marijuana use in California but it does not affect the federal laws for marijuana. The federal administration Department of Justice at the time the proposition was passed had a policy not to prosecute individuals who possess or use marijuana in states where the use was legal under state law. The new federal administration Department of Justice has explicitly taken the opposite position and announced its intentions to aggressively prosecute individuals in states where marijuana is legal.

2017 new California Laws include the following:

California’s 2016 gender wage equality law revisions prohibit an employer from paying any of its employees at wage rates less than those paid to employees of the opposite sex for substantially similar work, when viewed as a composite of skill, effort, and responsibility, even if the wage differential is from different establishments or locations. The 2017 revisions also prohibit an employer from paying any of its employees lower wage rates based on race or ethnicity.
