Will This New California Law Cause National Egg Prices to Unnecessarily Skyrocket?

As the new year rings in, many new state laws are going into effect that could affect your wallet, and this one comes from the progressive nanny state of California.
A new law, which was pushed through by radical left-wing progressive radical animal activists, requires new standards for farmers who raise egg-laying hens, will raise costs to farmers, which will probably result in higher egg prices at the grocery store. 

The new California law demands that farmers raise chickens in larger enclosures that provide enough room for them to stretch, turn around and flap their wings. 

California, which is the largest consumer of eggs in the nation, is also requiring that any farmers who sell from out-of-state must also comply with the law that took effect January 1, 2015, meaning that the inevitable price increases won’t necessarily be confined to California residents.

In addition to the chicken traffic controls, heaters will be required to be installed where chickens are raised in cooler climates in the winter, which would include much of the Midwest. 

As FOX News reports, as farmers have scrambled to prepare for the new law, chicken prices have already began to increase: 

In anticipation, egg prices have already risen, said Dave Heylen of the California Grocers Association, adding that the holiday season, cold weather across the country and increased exports to Mexico and Canada also contributed to a year-end price spike. He said he expected that supplies would remain adequate to meet demand.

California, once a bastion of prosperity and freedom, is now run by far-left controlist progressive Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, and dominated by leftists in both the state House and Senate.
