Cat Johnson of Shareable outlines four new developments in the seed sharing movement, including the introduction of legislation protecting seed sharing in California. 

"Assemblymember Marc Levine, who represents the 10th Assembly District, which includes Marin and Sonoma Counties, is sponsoring California Assembly Bill 1810, also known as the CA Seed Exchange Democracy Act. The bill proposes exempting noncommercial seed sharing from the state seed law and is the result of the efforts of the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC) in partnership with a number of organizations, including seed library, food, and environmental advocates."
