New law passed in California, could be far reaching

[outside looking in]

I don't remember the popular name for this law, and I can't seem to find a link about it (would help if I could remember the name, eh? ).

Essentially, California passed a law that prohibits acts/choices for which there is evidence of it being harmful to the environment. I wish I could remember the specifics, but I was driving at the time when I heard it on NPR and had a dozen other things on my mind.

About the only thing I remember for certain was the particular thought I had as they were describing the law... "whoa, that could be really far reaching!"

I thought it deserved some discussion. Unfortunately, I can't remember what we're supposed to discuss. Hopefully someone paid more attention than I did and can fish out a link for us.

I tried searching NPR.org but didn't come up with anything. :s

Damnit, I just can't seem to remember the wording used.

Something like "assumption of something or another" or "principle of this or that". Bah. I'll run across it again some day.

Sounds pretty unconstitutional to me. But I'm no lawyer.

I can't seem to find anything on it. When did you hear this on NPR?

I did find a link that states that the state senate passed a law outlawing housing and job discrimination against transsexuals.
