hmmm

Hundreds Of New State Laws Take Effect Monday
Some Laws Zany, Some Serious
Updated: 7:34 a.m. EDT July 1, 2002

Some are zany, some are serious -- a host of new laws are set to take effect Monday.

Smokers in six states will have to cough up more for their habit under a new cigarette tax taking hold Monday.

The law will see smokers in Vermont shell out 49 cents more per pack.

Nudity with "artistic value" will no longer be off-limits to minors in Utah. The state has rolled back a law banning any public nudity that might be viewed by minors.

Mississippi will make teddy bears the official state toy. And Georgia will recognize grits as the state's official prepared food.

On a more serious note, Oklahoma, Iowa, Idaho and South Dakota are designating terrorism a state crime.

And Indiana is raising the minimum age for execution from 16 to 18.
