SACRAMENTO – The California State Senate voted Thursday to require warning labels on sodas and energy drinks that contain 75 calories or more per 12 fluid ounces.
They would also have to include a warning label about increased risks for diabetes and tooth decay, if signed by the governor.
The Senate also approved a bill that would ban cigarettes, cigars, pipes and vapes from state parks and beaches. Violators would be fined $25, unless, the bill says, you are smoking for “religious reasons.”
Lawmakers have tried doing it nearly a dozen times over the past 15 years. All have failed to become law.
