      I hate to upend your "lulz red states" Reddit zinger, but the fact is the law doesn't take effect until January 2027, so until such time there is NO age limit in California.

      The limit is 16 in Colorado and Illinois, 15 in Hawaii, and no limit in New Mexico.

      Might want to update your notes.
