Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Gov. Gray Davis, appearing at a Jewish temple damaged by a fire set by white supremacists two years ago, signed a bill that bars insurance companies from canceling policies or raising premiums on religious, education or nonprofit charities that file claims originating from hate crimes.

Davis also signed a bill requiring him and other officeholders to disclose campaign contributions of $5,000 or more within 10 working days after receiving the money.

Under current law, politicians generally don’t have to reveal donations for as long as six months after receiving them.
