California's 2020 Senate Bill 145 aims to eliminate inequality in sex offender registration requirements, fact-checkers report

In September, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 145 into law. The bill prevents young adults engaging in non-vaginal sex with a minor within 10 years of their age from being automatically added to the sex offender registry, and allows a state judge to make that decision instead, PolitiFact explains. The bill was described by Senator Scott Weiner as an "anti-discrimination law" as it protects LGBTQ people from facing automatic registration as sex offenders. Senate Bill 145 does not legalize pedophilia, fact-checkers from The Associated Press, Reuters, PolitiFact and Snopes report.

  As we age, our bodies naturally begin to decline. This can lead to a variety of health problems, such as decreased mobility, vision problems, and hearing loss. These health problems can make it difficult to do the things we enjoy and can also lead to a loss of independence. Aging can also lead to a decline in cognitive function, such as memory and thinking skills. This can make it difficult to learn new things, stay organized, and make decisions. We may need more help with our daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and cooking. This can be a difficult adjustment to make, and it can also lead to a loss of independence.
