Family defense groups are warning about two bills, now before the California legislature.
One bill, AB 755, introduced last year by Assemblywoman Sally Lieber (D-Mountain View), would, “in its practical effect, make a non-injurious spanking with an object such as a ruler, small paddle, etc. illegal. After being arrested, charged, and tried in a criminal court, parents could receive up to one year in jail and lose custody of their children,” said a Jan. 22 alert from the Child and Family Protection Association and the Virginia-based Home School Legal Defense Association.

A bill that would expand domestic partnerships to all adults has also been introduced into the state legislature. In California, domestic partnerships, which currently apply only to heterosexual couples over age 62 and homosexual couples, offer nearly all the state benefits accruing to a marriage of a man and woman.
Domestic partners, says state law, “are two adults who have chosen to share one another’s lives in an intimate and committed relationship of mutual caring.”
I wonder if "domestic partners" will still be able to spank each other without fear of state sponsored intrusions?
