is now part of the federal health care reform law. at this mcdonald's, there's a menu board inside listing calory counts, but none visible in the drive through lane. california's leadership may lead to a delay in implementing the new law. according to a report in the orange county register, differences in federal and state law create confusing and expensive problems for rest launts, which have to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars designing and printing the menu boards. the law may not be in force for six months. cynthia said she knows the food is high in calories and the boards help. >> i guess it makes me more conscious as to what i'm buying and eating. >> advocates hope the boards could lead to fast-food restaurants to compete with each other by lowering their calory counts and providing healthier food for all of us. another new law taking effect today in california. this one over pot possession. now if you're caught with less than an ounce of marijuana, you

won't be arrested. instead you get a ticket with a $100 fine. the law reduces the penalty from a misdemeanor to an infraction, the same level of punishment as a speeding ticket. >> this is the first time in 5 years that we've had a reduction in penalties for marijuana in california for anything other than medical. >> the consequences stay the same for people who smoke pot and drive. the courts treat that like driving under the influence of alcohol. there are new laws involving students and parents. as of today, all middle and high school students are required to be vaccinated against whooping cough. moat most children are given a vaccine around the age of five, but the immunity eventually wears off. older students will need to show proof of booster shots before starting school next fall. parents are responsible if their child has excessive absences. parents could face fines, even

maybe because they didn't get that much. >> reporter: at the start of the year, the people have more hope. >> we have to be careful and more street-smart. >> reporter: in oakland, ann mackovick, cbs 5. >> there was also a significant drop in the mortar rate last year, down 20%. the first homicide of 2011 came an hour into the new year. a 15-year-old boy was shot to death. no information from police on arrests or suspects. police are also looking into how a woman's body ended up on highway 101 in san jose. she was found in the northbound lane near tooley road around four in the morning. at least two cars hit her before one stopped. it's not clear if the woman was walking on the highway or had fallen or jumped from the tooley road overpass. a rough start to the new year for dozens of people in
