(From sacbee.com) Legislation to toughen penalties against sex offenders in honor of Chelsea King, a murdered 17-year-old San Diego teen, cleared its final legislative hurdle Monday and was sent to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Assembly passed the measure, dubbed “Chelsea’s Law,” without a dissenting vote.

Dozens of bills were acted upon Monday as the Legislature worked into the night to finish its non-budget legislative work by today’s deadline.

Lawmakers also sent the governor Senate Bill 435 to crack down on motorcycle noise and Senate Bill 657 to require large California companies to tell consumers what, if anything, they are doing to eliminate human trafficking in their supply chains.
