Gov. Gavin Newsom's pen had quite the weekend as he signed or vetoed hundreds of bills as of Monday.
The big picture: One major new state law is California's banning of legacy and donor preference in admissions at its private and nonprofit universities yesterday.
Why it matters: The new law comes in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decisionoverturning affirmative action and affects prominent universities like Stanford and the USC.
Zoom in: It prevents private schools from receiving state funding through theCal Grant program if they give preferential treatment to applicants related to a donor or alum.
State of play: Monday was the deadline for action following the state's legislative session that ended in August.
