California is seeking to strengthen its understanding of the state’s midwifery workforce. This bill would require the Medical Board of California to gather specific data from licensed midwives regarding their availability to serve as clinical preceptors for student midwives.

Starting January 1, 2025, California has tightened e-bike rules, banning throttles on Class 1 and Class 3 e-bikes, keeping them only for Class 2 models. Honestly, I get it. E-bikes can hit some pretty high speeds, and when you factor in their weight compared to regular bikes, the risks to pedestrians become real. My Lectric XPremium, for example, can hit 45 km/h (28 mph) in Class 3 mode. But personally, I think anything over 18 mph is too much for e-bikes, especially on sidewalks or trails. That’s why I fully support California’s move to rein in throttle use. I even disabled the throttle on my e-bike a while back and stick to safer modes. It just feels like the responsible thing to do.
