UHulumeni waseCalifornia uJerry Brown usayine umthetho ngoLwesibili owenza umbuso ube ngowokuqala ezweni ukuvimbela izikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye.

Ukuvinjelwa kuzoqala ukusebenza ngoJulayi 2015, ukwenqabela izitolo ezinkulu zegrosa ukuthi zisebenzise izinto ezivame ukuphelela njengodoti emizileni yamanzi yesifundazwe.Amabhizinisi amancane, njengezitolo zotshwala kanye nezitolo ezilula, kuzodingeka alandele okufanayo ngo-2016. Omasipala abangaphezu kwe-100 esifundazweni kakade banemithetho efanayo, kuhlanganise ne-Los Angeles ne-San Francisco.Umthetho omusha uzovumela izitolo ezithengisa izikhwama zepulasitiki ukuthi zikhokhise amasenti angu-10 ngephepha noma isikhwama esingasetshenziswa kabusha.Umthetho futhi uhlinzeka ngemali kubakhiqizi bezikhwama zepulasitiki, umzamo wokudambisa igalelo njengoba abenzi bomthetho bephusha ushintsho ekukhiqizeni izikhwama ezingasetshenziswa kabusha.

ISan Francisco yaba idolobha lokuqala elikhulu laseMelika ukuvala izikhwama zepulasitiki ngo-2007, kodwa ukuvinjelwa kwezwe lonke kungase kube yisibonelo esinamandla njengoba abameli kwezinye izifundazwe bebukeka belandela.Ukushaywa kwalo mthetho ngoLwesibili kuphawule isiphetho sempi ende phakathi kwabamele imboni yezikhwama zepulasitiki nalabo abakhathazekile ngomthelela wezikhwama emvelweni.

USenator Wesifunda Sase-California u-Kevin de Leόn, umbhali kanye naye walo mthethosivivinywa, ubize lo mthetho omusha ngokuthi “ukuphumelela kwemvelo kanye nakubasebenzi baseCalifornia.”

"Siqeda isihlava sezikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye kanye nokuvala iluphu kumfucumfucu wepulasitiki, sonke isikhathi sigcina-futhi sikhulisa imisebenzi yaseCalifornia," kusho yena.
