Several new laws designed to stop street races and takeovers are now on the books in California and President Biden addresses the United Nations for the last time.

AM UPDATE: New laws aimed at stopping street takeovers signed by Governor Newsom

Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill to restrict the use of cell phones in schools across California, set to take effect in 2026. Botanical bandits are stealing succulents from the wild, and experts from the Huntington Botanical Gardens say it's hurting the environment. And according to a lawsuit filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, energy giant ExxonMobil is operating a decades-long "campaign of deception" regarding how much plastic waste the company can recycle, causing irreversible environmental damage.

PM UPDATE: ExxonMobil sued for 'campaign of deception,' causing irreversible ecological harm

The California attorney general is suing ExxonMobil, claiming its plastic recycling side business is not what it claims to be. There's a new plastic bag ban in California, and this time even those thicker bags will be gone - but not until 2026. If you smelled smoke on the west side today, we'll tell you where it was coming from. And who's stealing succulents? The L.A. Local is sponsored by the LA Car Guy family of dealerships.
