New laws: Newsom signs 1,040 bills. Here’s a look at how they could impact California

Of the bills sent to Newsom in 2026, he signed 1,040. Those bills ranged from providing more training opportunities for people to recognize opioid overdoses and administer naloxone to considering forced marriage as grounds for seeking a domestic violence restraining order. There’s legislation requiring high school coaches to complete mental health training to better help their players, and another creating a first-in-the-nation state seal to identify non-ultraprocessed foods.
