California lawmakers OK control of video game sales
California lawmakers have approved a bill that would ban the sale of violent video game to minors, but Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has not yet taken a position on the legislation, his office said on Friday.
The bill would end the sale and rental of violent games to minors that depict serious injury which is determined to be especially heinous, atrocious or cruel. It also calls for $1,000 fines for violators and requires violent video games to be labeled.
The Democratic-controlled legislature approved the measure late on Thursday, but the governor's office said the actor- turned-politician -- whose Hollywood film career includes violent movies -- has not taken a position on the bill.
Assembly Democrat Leland Yee, who sponsored the legislation, noted U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has introduced nearly identical legislation at the federal level.
