Seeing and you -- this means a whole slew of new laws on the books from the serious to the seriously bizarre -- got you covered.

And here to help us out to break down all of these losses defense attorney Joey Jackson good morning -- morning happy new yeah.

2013 is rolling and let's start with some serious flaws in laws that you the viewer at home really need to know about in California Illinois there's -- least law what is this about.

Very significant -- you would think in anticipate of course that when someone's daughter son is missing or dead that they would be automatic reporting by parents that was nothing ace right you would think that's the case.

And so what lawmakers did was they said look we're going to correct that we -- going to make it a felony.

If parents don't come forward and report any missing child and as a result of that the penalties are a lot stiffer and you.

As a result would now now you better report.

Or else because Casey Anthony waited 24 what how many 3138 said he didn't -- days before your -- and of course she was acquitted right right back in July 2011.

This outraged.

-- cross the country.

And so this is went into effect as a result OK in Oregon if you're looking to hire some -- you have to consider everybody make it fair right you do because what -- Happens is is as a result of the bad economy people were not employed right people out of jobs and so what's happening is is that people who don't have jobs.

A finding it very difficult to get jobs why they've been out of work too long so as a result of this law if you're unemployed for significant period of time.

That cannot operate as a block to preclude you from getting that job.

Good work by that handles lawmakers goes along with that easier to find a job when you already have -- exact count me as I now on Massachusetts you cannot sell plastic water bottles anymore.

Now this is pretty unique and because it's the first in the country to do this -- this of course is an environmental issue they wanna move back to tap water they're saying that as a result of making these plastic bottles it burns fossil fuels and it hurts the environment.

And sell to not be caught when a plastic bottle of water in Massachusetts we'll see if anybody else follows this but they're hoping more people -- it.

-- water exactly money almost bottles right let's not go with some of the -- laws now these are always fun to talk about in California.

You're now allowed to use -- A driver list car -- you know.

Opera it's interest thing because this is going to be the wave of the future they are -- testing these cars in Nevada and it's predicted that about five years it won't be particularly common place but you'll see cause driving on the road and there won't be a -- ever in this city.

And so what Google's doing is they're really going with this technology.

California passed the law to that if you see a car and is -- truck driver in there.

It's all good but be careful because I'm telling you there will be a time when you can do is get into a car.

And let the cargo and then the big thing is.

If the car goes to a red -- who get -- -- it.

That's a good point we're I guess the point -- it won't go through the rabbi what they say the -- -- see how good this -- -- moving down south let's go to Kentucky it's illegal to release.

Eggs and the wild.

Well you know these pay eggs they caused damage and they -- through crops may eat everything in a -- -- communities.

And so they say listen enough we have to control these pigs is actually these -- You know types of programs to eliminate pay eggs and everything else.

Be nice to -- stuff.

They must have a big problem with that -- Arafat to make a lot Dario -- -- great North Carolina.

Don't steal your neighbors cooking oil you know interestingly enough this oil is used in pie -- could produce bio diesel fuel -- as a result the -- and it's also good for heating purposes and people finding this out and they're taking it.

And of course -- say a felony if you do it to be -- you don't wanna go to jail for taking oil and very night I got a nice way to spend new year Kelly always good to have you on playing -- a pretty much thank you.

Pleasure and privilege -- so nice.
