LA County Seeks Ways To Reduce Incarceration Of Pregnant Girls
Nearly 5 percent of young women booked into county detention centers or jail tested positive for pregnancy in 2017, leading two members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to push Tuesday for more resources aimed at improving their care and reducing those numbers. The 50 young women ranged in age from 14 to 19, though nearly three-quarters were 17 or 18 years old. Their alleged offenses ranged from petty theft to one charged with murder. Supervisors Hilda Solis and Janice Hahn co-authored a motion recommending more attention to the needs of young women dealing with pregnancies while in custody and a focus on diverting girls who are eligible into community-based programs.

Bail Overhaul Will Continue With Or Without New California Law
State Chief Justice Says California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye on Tuesday defended a landmark new state law abolishing money bail, saying it was crafted to ensure courts “do not judge a person based on the size of their wallet or what they have access to in someone else's wallet.” In an annual meeting with reporters in San Francisco, the chief justice said the state's top court officials would continue to improve how judges determine whether criminal defendants are fit for release ahead of trial, even if the new law is suspended amid an effort from the bail industry to block it through a voter referendum. “We are seeking to make it as a fair and transparent as possible,” she said of the pretrial detention process. “We as a branch supported [Senate Bill] 10 because we believed it was a fairer way to assess a person charged with a crime.” KTLA 5 |

California Fire Chief:
State Must Adapt To New Wildfire Norm California's increasingly deadly and destructive wildfires have become so unpredictable that government officials should consider banning home construction in vulnerable areas, the state's top firefighter says. Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Director Ken Pimlott will leave his job Friday after 30 years with the agency. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said government and citizens must act differently to protect lives and property from fires that now routinely threaten large populations. That may mean rethinking subdivisions in thickly forested mountainous areas or homes along Southern California canyons lined with tinder-dry chaparral. NBC 4 |

100 Miles of Los Angeles Streets
You'll soon be able to hit the gas pedal harder on some Los Angeles streets. And that has some neighbors worried that the city is about to get more dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. Over 100 miles of LA streets are getting new speed limits, most of them increases, but law enforcement says that the changes will make me easier for them to enforce the law. The LA City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to make the changes. One stretch of Shoup Avenue between Roscoe and Ventura Boulevard has a posted limit of 35 mph. NBC Los Angeles |

L.A. Approves New Rules For Airbnb-Type Rentals
After Years Of Debate The Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to impose new rules on renting out rooms and homes for short stays, regulating a phenomenon popularized by the rise of online platforms such as Airbnb. The law, which goes into effect in July, allows Angelenos to host such rentals only in their “primary residence,” not a second home or investment property. The vote came more than 3½ years after Councilman Mike Bonin and Council President Herb Wesson first laid out a proposal to regulate short-term rentals, arguing that the city needed to prevent homes from being operated like hotels.
