"New Legislation Targets Guns, Porn, Taxes, and Fuzzy Dice Regulations"

Starting January, new laws across various U.S. states will address a wide range of issues including the prohibition of police stops for items like fuzzy dice hanging from rearview mirrors in Illinois, the implementation of red-flag gun laws in Minnesota, ghost gun bans in Colorado, and online regulations such as age verification on pornographic sites in North Carolina. Additionally, there are laws affecting LGBTQ+ rights, such as bans on gender-affirming treatments for minors in certain states and inclusive policies in others. The new year also sees changes in tax policies and significant minimum wage increases in over 20 states, with some states doubling the federal minimum wage.
