SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California could eventually join the European Union in requiring all new cars to alert drivers when they break the speed limit, a proposal aimed at reducing traffic deaths that would likely impact motorists across the country should it become law.
The federal government sets safety standards for vehicles nationwide, which is why most cars now beep at drivers if their seat belt isn’t fastened.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats introduced legislation Tuesday that would prohibit U. S. officials from accepting money, payments or gifts from foreign governments without congressional consent, their response to a yearslong probe into former President Donald Trump’s overseas business dealings.
The proposal led by Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen.
The Miami Hurricanes picked up a major addition for their defensive line on Tuesday evening.
Former Tennessee defensive lineman Tyler Baron announced he is transferring to UM, making the announcement on social media.
Baron was a standout lineman at Tennessee, racking up 28 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and six sacks last season.
In four seasons at Tennessee, Baron had 101 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks.
Baron decided to leave Tennessee after the 2023 season and transferred to Louisville, but he re-entered the portal in April.
The Hurricanes expect Baron to bring speed and power in their pass rush, a source said.
Miami is expected to have a deep defensive line this season despite losing several linemen to the portal.

Former Broward Schools Superintendent Peter Licata will end his short tenure with the Broward School Board on July 1, leaving without a hefty separation package or consulting deal that he had tentatively negotiated.
Not only did School Board members reject a $60,577 proposed consulting agreement, they lowered Licata’s salary for his remaining days from $350,000 a year to $287,500, while taking away a $1,200-a-month car allowance and some other benefits for his final weeks.
“Chaos is having a superintendent leave in less than a year but wanting a balloon payment from our taxpayers,” Board member Torey Alston said.
Licata, who started last July, will get unused sick and vacation days.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A former employee sued the city of Minneapolis on Tuesday, alleging ex-police Officer Derek Chauvin hauled her from her minivan and pinned her to the ground with his knee in January 2020, just as he did four months later when he killed George Floyd.
Patty Day, then employed by the Public Works Department, wants over $9 million in damages for her injuries, which included a broken tooth, a deep cut that left a scar on her hand, persistent arm and shoulder pain, and psychological issues including anxiety, depression and flashbacks.
“Chauvin is the most infamous police officer in Minnesota (if not United States) history,” according to the complaint filed in federal court.
