California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially signed into law Leland Yee's AB1179 measure, aimed at preventing the sale of violent video games to children. The bill will now take effect on January 1, 2006, despite significant attempts to stop its passage by game retailer organization the IEMA, which urged a veto on the grounds of "the lack of decipherable standards" for the bill, as well as a number of other issues.
