"California Makes Cage-Free Hens A State Law" [1]

"SAN FRANCISCO — California voters approved a measure Tuesday requiring all eggs sold in the state come from cage-free hens by 2022.

Proposition 12 led with 59 percent of the vote with nearly 4 million ballots counted.

Supporters say the measure is a step toward more humane farming practices, while opponents say it doesn't go far enough."
