California has positioned itself as a leader on emerging
cannabis policy. While federal law still prohibits cannabis-related

cultivator, manufacturer, testing laboratory, retailer,
microbusiness or distributor.

Significant state law changes have occurred concerning online gambling, sports betting, fantasy sports, and skilled-based games, to name a few. The major federal law prohibiting states from authorizing sports betting (PASPA) was struck down as unconstitutional and the Department of Justice reversed its opinion in the scope of the federal law that prohibits certain interstate betting (the Wire Act).
