Update on AB 3080 and AB 1949

AB 3080 (age verification for adult websites and online purchase of products and services not allowed for minors) and AB 1949 (prohibiting data collection on individuals less than 18 years of age) both officially have hearing dates for the California Senate Judiciary Committee.

The hearing date for these bills is scheduled to be Tuesday 07/02/2024. Which means that the deadline to turn in position letters is going to be noon one week before the hearing on 06/25/2024. It's not a lot of time from this moment, but I'm certain we can each turn one in before then

Remember that position letters should be single topic, in strict opposition of what each bill entails. Keep on topic and professional when writing them. Let us all do our best to keep these bills from leaving committee so that we don't have to fight them on the Senate floor. But let's also not stop sending correspondence to our state representatives anyway.

Remember, the jurisdiction of the Senate Judiciary Committee is as follows.

"Bills amending the Civil Code, Code of Civil Procedure, Evidence Code, Family Code, and Probate Code. Bills relating to courts, judges, and court personnel. Bills relating to liens, claims, and unclaimed property. Bills relating to privacy and consumer protection."

Best of luck everyone. And thank you for your efforts to fight this so far.

Below is linked the latest versions of the bills.

Below are the links to the Committee's homepage which gives further information about the Judiciary Committee, and the page explaining further in depth their letter policy.

Edit: Was requested to add in information such as why these bills are bad and what sites could potentially be affected by these bills. So here's the explanation I gave in asks.

Why are these bills bad?

Both bills are essentially age verification requirement laws. AB 3080 explicitly, and AB 1949 implicitly.

AB 3080 strictly is calling for dangerous age verification requirements for both adult websites and any website which sells products or services which it is illegal for minors to access in California. While this may sound like a good idea on paper, it's important to keep in mind that any information that's put online is at risk of being extracted and used by bad actors like hackers. Even if there are additional requirements by the law that data be deleted after its used for its intended purpose and that it not be used to trace what websites people access. The former of which provides very little protection from people who could access the databases of identification that are used for verification, and the latter which is frankly impossible to completely enforce and could at any time reasonably be used by the government or any surveying entity to see what private citizens have been looking at since their ID would be linked to the access and not anonymized.

AB 1949 is nominally to protect children from having their data collected and sold without permission on websites. However by restricting this with an age limit it opens up similar issues wherein it could cause default requirements for age verification for any website so that they can avoid liability by users and the state.

What websites could they affect?

AB 3080, according to the bill's text, would affect websites which sells the types of items listed below

"

(b) Products or services that are illegal to sell to a minor under state law that are subject to subdivision (a) include all of the following:

(1) An aerosol container of paint that is capable of defacing property, as referenced in Section 594.1 of the Penal Code.

(2) Etching cream that is capable of defacing property, as referenced in Section 594.1 of the Penal Code.

(3) Dangerous fireworks, as referenced in Sections 12505 and 12689 of the Health and Safety Code.

(4) Tanning in an ultraviolet tanning device, as referenced in Sections 22702 and 22706 of the Business and Professions Code.

(5) Dietary supplement products containing ephedrine group alkaloids, as referenced in Section 110423.2 of the Health and Safety Code.

(6) Body branding, as referenced in Sections 119301 and 119302 of the Health and Safety Code.

(c) Products or services that are illegal to sell to a minor under state law that are subject to subdivision (a) include all of the following:

(1) Firearms or handguns, as referenced in Sections 16520, 16640, and 27505 of the Penal Code.

(2) A BB device, as referenced in Sections 16250 and 19910 of the Penal Code.

(3) Ammunition or reloaded ammunition, as referenced in Sections 16150 and 30300 of the Penal Code.

(4) Any tobacco, cigarette, cigarette papers, blunt wraps, any other preparation of tobacco, any other instrument or paraphernalia that is designed for the smoking or ingestion of tobacco, products prepared from tobacco, or any controlled substance, as referenced in Division 8.5 (commencing with Section 22950) of the Business and Professions Code, and Sections 308, 308.1, 308.2, and 308.3 of the Penal Code.

(5) Electronic cigarettes, as referenced in Section 119406 of the Health and Safety Code.

(6) A less lethal weapon, as referenced in Sections 16780 and 19405 of the Penal Code."

This is stated explicitly to include "internet website on which the owner of the internet website, for commercial gain, knowingly publishes sexually explicit content that, on an annual basis, exceeds one-third of the contents published on the internet website". Wherein "sexually explicit content" is defined as "visual imagery of an individual or individuals engaging in an act of masturbation, sexual intercourse, oral copulation, or other overtly sexual conduct that, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

This would likely not include websites like AO3 or any website which displays NSFW content not in excess of 1/3 of the content on the site. Possibly not inclusive of writing because of the "visual imagery", but don't know at this time. In any case we don't want to set a precedent off of which it could springboard into non-commercial websites or any and all places with NSFW content.

AB 1949 is a lot more broad because it's about general data collection by any and all websites in which they might sell personal data collected by the website to third parties, especially if aimed specifically at minors or has a high chance of minors commonly accesses the site. But with how broad the language is I can't say there would be ANY limits to this one. So both are equally bad and would require equal attention in my opinion.

Weiss: There's no denying it now. There's a traitor amidst our ranks.

Emerald: (Via scroll) It was too close this time.

Jaune: (In the dark) Yeah. I panicked a bit earlier. Sorry for the hassle earlier. I'll finish the job right next time.

Emerald: Next time, huh? Do you need more bodies to handle things? I know a couple of guys in Vale who are more than willing to do whatever to get some lien. That is, if you're fine with less than reputable background.

Jaune: No. I've got enough help as it is. In fact, I learned just how useful my own team is.

Emerald: So you don't need help?.

Jaune: No. I'll be fine. But that said...

Jaune: I thought I'd miss the deadline for sure! I think that was probably the closest call of my career! First a flu wipes out all of my assistants, and then I lost all my notes... My schedule was so off! I thought I'd have a heart attack!

Emerald: No kidding! That was too close of a call! I think I started praying for the printer to work on my end!.

Jaune: I am so sorry about that! I'll do better managing my time from now on! But yeah, my team really came through as my writing assistants.

Emerald: Oh? And do you plan to pay them for their efforts? As your editor, I can't have you publicly endorsing slave labor to get your stories written.

Jaune: Uh... I-I'll have to think about how much I'll have to pay them...

Emerald: By the way, you should really look into getting some new light bulbs. You look like a supervillain with the lights off.

Jaune: Yeah, the power went out over here and it took the lights when it came back.

Reg Open: Non-Linear Story Structures from Non-Western Traditions

When: February 25th, 2024 | 10AM – 1PM Pacific Time Can't make the live webinar? Register to get the recording after Where: Online — Zoom Classroom Price: $75 - $100 Scholarships are available - scholarship deadline is February 4th!

“Begin at the beginning,” the King said, very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland.

Carroll’s king was clearly not a Chinese king. Western storytelling traditions decree that a linear structure (along with the three act structure, the hero’s journey, and a rising self-esteem arc) are mandatory features of any satisfying story. This is Western-centric silliness. In this webinar, author Henry Lien will explore non-linear structures, specifically cyclic and nested structures, using examples from non-Western stories and films.

Students will come to understand how these non-linear structures allow for thematic stacking, embracing of moral complexity, and a synthesis between form and content to explode the idea that a straight line is the best way to tell every story. The webinar emphasizes practical craft takeaways for storytellers to apply to their own works in progress.

This webinar will run from 10AM to 1PM Pacific Time with short breaks in the middle.

suite de mon weekend d'anniversaire de merde j'ai accompagné maman et m. au bazar de la croix-rouge pour passer dire bonjour à l. et quand elle m'a demandé comment j'allais j'ai dit bien en souriant et puis je suis rentrée seule parce que j'en pouvais plus du regard des gens sur mon oeil. il est très gonflé de nouveau et j'ai l'impression d'être un monstre. j'ai mis mes lunettes de soleil et je suis rentrée à pied parce que c'était le premier jour depuis un mois qu'il pleuvait pas. en rentrant j'ai changé mes draps encore imprégnés de larmes et passé l'aspirateur pour aspirer les restes de tristesse, puis j'ai lu le livre sur proust de laure murat et on a désinfecté la cuisine infestée de vers alimentaires. maman était tellement inefficace qu'elle me donnait le double de travail et ça me rendait 1. folle 2. triste. et puis le soir pendant que je regardais la cité de la peur à la télé parce que je l'avais jamais vu mon téléphone s'est éclairé avec une notif de r. qui m'envoyait un truc con et le monde s'est remis à tourner rond. je voulais lui écrire c'est pas trop tôt je commençais à me demander où t'étais passé, mais je me suis rendu compte que son dernier message datait d'avant-hier, ce qui n'est pas non plus si loin que ça. il est pas censé savoir que hier a duré mille ans non plus. à part ça meilleure nouvelle de la journée: j'ai enfin téléchargé une ancienne version de garageband compatible avec mon ordi et je veux commencer à expérimenter avec des samples asap!!!

22 novembre

j'ai écrit un poème aujourd'hui. demain je dois en écrire un autre. pour tenir mes engagements. mes engagements envers moi-même à propos des deadlines d'appels à textes inscrites dans mon calendrier. ce soir à la grande librairie ils avaient invité une poétesse et un astrophysicien pour discuter des liens entre la poésie et la science et c'est exactement comme ça que j'ai écrit mon poème de cet après-midi qui est à 50% constitué du texte de la voix off d'un documentaire sur les volcans qui passait sur france 5 un soir. je suis contente de me remettre au travail. je veux écrire assez de poèmes pour envisager un recueil. moins important à mes yeux qu'un roman, mais c'est un bon début, et au moins j'aurai publié quelque chose, puisque dans ce monde c'est tout ce qui compte. et quand j'aurai publié quelque chose moi aussi je serai peut être invitée à faire des lectures aux walfer bicherdeeg et je ne sais où, avec les autres auteurs publiés de ce pays. vivement demain que j'avance sur mon petit chemin vers la gloire. je veux plus mourir, see? tout va bien.

r. m'a demandé comment j'allais ce matin, il était dans un café à paris (il m'a envoyé une photo des toilettes), il est en tournée en france et il me demandait quoi faire à paris pour passer la journée et puis il a dit comment tu vas toi? et un océan s'est ouvert devant moi. j'ai passé quatre heures à réfléchir à une réponse tout en écrivant mon poème et j'ai fini par lui parler de ma crise de samedi. faisant référence à l'océan qui s'ouvre devant moi il m'a répondu un océan de larmes pour un futur fertile et navigable et je sais pas comment il a trouvé une réponse aussi parfaite en deux minutes chrono mais j'ai eu envie de me laisser fondre dans le carrelage de la cuisine. ce soir dans la cuisine je regardais un oiseau qui volait haut dans le ciel contre les nuages roses en écoutant un truc de ravel qui passait à la radio et j'ai souri à mon futur fertile et navigable. n. me disait qu'en 2015 elle avait autopublié un roman et qu'elle avait organisé une release party pour ses amis et je lui ai dit i want to throw a release party! write a book and throw a release party for it. ça fera partie de mon futur fertile et navigable. je pensais à la fête d'anniversaire que j'aurais pu donner si mes amis habitaient tous ici et puis j'ai commencé à faire la liste des gens que j'inviterais à ma fête d'emménagement à bruxelles et j'ai réussi à en rassembler une douzaine et je me sentais tout à fait capable d'organiser ça, de réaliser cet exploit de sociabilité, tout à fait dans les cordes dans mon futur fertile et navigable.

l'autre jour on parlait de l'endométriose et m. disait qu'elle connaissait des filles qui en souffraient et puis maman m'a demandé et toi t'en connaissais? et j'ai dit pourquoi connaissais? je suis morte? et elle a dit non mais quand t'étais à la fac encore, que tu fréquentais des gens, et j'arrivais pas à y croire. je lui ai dit que j'étais bien plus entourée maintenant que quand j'étais à la fac mais je sais pas si elle m'a crue. moi-même j'avais des doutes. est-ce que je suis vraiment plus entourée? en tout cas je suis plus entourée qu'y a deux ans, ça c'est sûr. donc je fais des progrès. donc je bouge. ce matin a. de let's move m'a invitée à venir chanter dans sa chorale lundi et hier j'ai reçu un colis d'anniversaire de n. qui contenait un exemplaire de son roman autoédité qu'elle a révisé et réimprimé cet automne. j'espère qu'en le lisant ça va me motiver x10000 à commencer le mien. j'ai aussi reçu une carte postale du tennesse de j. et une carte avec une baleine de f. et j'étais toute contente en tenant mes preuves de papier de gens qui pensent à moi.

Construction Lien Law in Utah

In Utah, construction lien laws are primarily governed by Title 38, Chapter 1a of the Utah Code, which details the requirements and procedures for establishing and enforcing construction liens. Here is a comprehensive overview:

Preliminary Notice

Requirement: Any person furnishing labor, service, equipment, or materials for a construction project must file a preliminary notice with the State Construction Registry (SCR) within 20 days after starting work on the project. This notice is crucial as it preserves the right to later file a construction lien if payment issues arise (Utah Code § 38-1a-501).

Filing: The notice must be filed online at the SCR website. Failure to file this notice within the 20-day period may result in the loss of lien rights.

Notice of Construction Lien

Contents: The notice of construction lien must include:

The name of the reputed owner or, if unknown, the record owner.

The name of the person who employed the claimant.

The dates when the claimant first and last provided labor or materials.

A description of the property sufficient for identification.

The claimant’s name, address, and phone number.

The amount claimed.

The claimant’s signature.

An acknowledgment or certificate as required by Title 57, Chapter 3.

For liens on owner-occupied residences, a statement on the steps the owner can take to remove the lien (Utah Code § 38-1a-502).

Recording: This notice must be recorded in the county where the property is located, and the county recorder will index it accordingly. The notice is considered effective from the time of recording, giving public notice of the lien.

Service: Within 30 days after filing, the claimant must deliver or mail a copy of the notice to the reputed owner or record owner. Failure to do so can preclude the claimant from recovering costs and attorney fees in a lien enforcement action.

Filing Deadlines

Lien Filing: A lien must be filed within 180 days after the final completion of the original contract, the final inspection, or the issuance of a permanent certificate of occupancy. If a notice of completion is filed, the deadline is shortened to 90 days.

Lien Enforcement: To enforce the lien, a lawsuit must be filed within 180 days after the lien is recorded. This is very important.

Bonding and Waivers

Bonding: If a lien is contested, the property owner can post a bond to discharge the lien. The bond amount varies: 150% of the lien value if the claim is $25,000 or more, 175% if between $15,000 and $25,000, and 200% if less than $15,000.

Lien Waiver: Utah law provides for statutory lien waiver forms that can be used to waive lien rights under certain conditions.

For more detailed information, you can contact Utah Attorney Jeremy Eveland or visit the State Construction Registry

A Guide to Dealing with Back Taxes

Handling back taxes requires understanding the procedure, enabling you to negotiate this problematic circumstance more successfully. Ignoring unpaid taxes from past years - back taxes - may have dire results, including fines, interest, and maybe legal action.

First, examine prior tax returns - letters from state or federal tax authorities can help you see your tax obligation. If you are unsure about the precise amount, using their web resources or personally calling the IRS will help clear things up. Before starting any repayment schedule, you must grasp your debt precisely.

Once you understand your debt, examine the repayment options. The IRS runs various initiatives to assist consumers with debt settlement. Establishing an installment arrangement lets you pay your back taxes over time in smaller, more manageable sums. If you can commit to monthly payments but cannot pay the entire cost ahead, this plan can help.

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is another choice; it lets you pay off your tax obligation for less than the amount owed, provided you satisfy specific requirements. The IRS will assess your income, ability to pay, costs, and asset equity to determine your eligibility. Although turning in an OIC can be a complicated procedure requiring thorough financial paperwork, it will significantly lower your total tax load if approved.

For people going through temporary financial difficulty, asking for a little delay in the collecting procedure might be reasonable. If you show that paying your tax obligation will keep you from meeting essential living expenditures, the IRS could label your account "currently not collectible." Although it's not a permanent fix, this status might offer some respite while you work on stabilizing your finances.

Dealing with past taxes also depends critically on filing overdue tax returns. File your taxes to help reduce further penalties even if you cannot pay the entire amount owing. Often more severe than the failure-to-pay penalty, the IRS levies a failure-to-file penalty. Filing all past-due taxes will assist in lowering these additional fees and show your eagerness to fix your tax problems.

Dealing with overdue taxes might benefit from expert help. Certified public accountants (CPAs) or tax lawyers are among the tax specialists who may provide insightful counsel catered to your particular circumstances. They can assist you in bargaining with the IRS, make sure you investigate all of your choices, and walk you through the documentation-submitting procedure. Knowing that seasoned people are managing your matter gives you peace of mind, which professional help may offer.

Furthermore, it is crucial to know the effects of neglecting past taxes. Ignoring unpaid taxes might lead the IRS to take many enforcement steps, including tax liens, wage garnishments, and bank levies. These activities improve your credit score and financial stability. Early resolution of your past taxes can help you escape these harsh penalties and direct your efforts toward more under-control debt resolution.

Apart from handling present back taxes, it is essential to use policies to avert upcoming tax problems. Maintaining orderly records, saving money for taxes, and keeping current with tax regulations and deadlines may assist you in preventing falling behind on your taxes. Long-term financial stability and health can benefit from developing solid tax practices and consulting experts regularly.

Dealing with back taxes calls for a complete strategy, including knowledge of your tax liability, investigation of repayment choices, submission of late returns, expert advice, and avoidance of future tax problems. Addressing back taxes early on can minimize the effects and offer a better road toward financial security. Although the procedure might appear daunting, acting with knowledge will help to provide a more controllable and less demanding answer.

Collecting After a Judgment: Key Steps to Secure Your Funds

Congratulations on winning your judgment! Now comes the critical phase of actually collecting the money owed to you. Navigating this process requires a strategic approach and a good understanding of the legal procedures involved. Here are the key steps you should take to ensure a successful collection:

Step 1: Obtain a Certified Copy of the Judgment

The first crucial step is to obtain a certified copy of the judgment from the court where your case was decided. This document serves as official proof of the court’s decision in your favor, and it provides the legal basis for your collection efforts.

Step 2: Identify The Debtor’s Assets

Before you can start collecting, it’s important to identify the assets of the debtor. This includes bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, and any other valuable possessions. This information will help you determine the best course of action for collection.

Step 3: Send a Demand Letter

A demand letter is a formal written request for payment sent to the debtor. It outlines the amount owed, the judgment details, and a clear deadline for payment. Often, this step can lead to a voluntary payment without further legal action.

Step 4: Consider Wage Garnishment

If the debtor doesn’t respond to the demand letter or is unable to pay the full amount upfront, you may explore wage garnishment. This involves obtaining a court order to have a portion of the debtor’s wages withheld and sent directly to you.

Step 5: Bank Levy

In some cases, you may choose to levy the debtor’s bank accounts. This involves obtaining a court order that allows you to take money directly from their bank account to satisfy the judgment.

Step 6: Property Liens

If the debtor owns real estate, you can place a lien on their property. This means that if they try to sell or refinance, the debt must be satisfied before the transaction can proceed.

Step 7: Post-Judgment Interest

In many cases, you’re entitled to collect interest on the judgment amount. Be sure to check the laws in your jurisdiction to determine the applicable interest rate.

Step 8: Stay Persistent, But Compliant

Persistence is key in collecting a judgment, but it’s crucial to remain compliant with all legal requirements. Any attempts to collect that violate the law can have serious consequences.

Step 9: Consult With a Professional

If you encounter challenges during the collection process, it may be beneficial to consult with a collection agency or an attorney experienced in judgment collection. They can provide expert advice and assist in navigating any complex situations that arise.

Remember, each situation is unique, and there may be specific laws and regulations that apply to your case. For more detailed information and personalized guidance, visit judgmentcollection.org.

Navigating IRS Challenges: Your Guide to Tax Relief and Assistance

Navigating the complexities of the U.S. tax system can be overwhelming, particularly when you find yourself facing challenges with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Whether it's an audit notice, back taxes, or a tax lien, understanding your options for tax relief and assistance is crucial. This guide will help you explore the various resources available to you, ensuring that you are well-equipped to handle any IRS-related issues with confidence.

Understanding Your IRS Obligations

The IRS is responsible for enforcing tax laws and collecting taxes owed to the federal government. Every taxpayer has obligations that must be met, including filing accurate tax returns on time and paying any taxes due. Failure to comply with these obligations can lead to penalties, interest, and potentially severe legal consequences.

Key Responsibilities:

Filing Tax Returns: Individuals and businesses must file annual tax returns to report income, deductions, and credits.

Paying Taxes: Taxes owed must be paid by the designated deadlines to avoid penalties.

Record Keeping: Maintaining accurate financial records is essential for substantiating your tax filings.

Common IRS Challenges

While most taxpayers aim to comply with their tax obligations, various challenges can arise, leading to IRS action. Some common issues include:

Back Taxes: Unpaid taxes from previous years can accumulate and result in significant debt.

Audits: The IRS may audit your tax return to verify the accuracy of your reported information.

Tax Liens and Levies: If taxes remain unpaid, the IRS can place a lien on your property or levy your assets.

Options for IRS help and Tax Relief

If you find yourself facing any of these challenges, there are several options for obtaining assistance and relief:

1. Installment Agreements

If you're unable to pay your taxes in full, you may qualify for an installment agreement with the IRS. This arrangement allows you to pay off your tax debt in smaller, manageable monthly payments over time. To apply, you'll need to submit Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request, and provide information about your financial situation.

Benefits of Installment Agreements:

Avoidance of immediate collection actions.

Reduction of financial strain by spreading payments over time.

2. Offer in Compromise (OIC)

An Offer in Compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is available to taxpayers who can demonstrate that paying the full amount would cause financial hardship. To apply, you'll need to complete Form 656, Offer in Compromise, and provide detailed financial documentation.

Benefits of Offer in Compromise:
