The halfway point of 2012 means the start of new laws across the United States. CNN producers canvassed the country and found some of the more unusual regulations and downright quirky bills worthy of our Top 20:

1. Illinois: Taxi drivers can charge passengers a $50 cleanup fee for vomiting in cabs.

5. Florida: A law forbids the shackling of women incarcerated during a pregnancy and immediately after giving birth. (I wouldn't call that quirky)

16. Georgia: A law gives drivers the option of affixing a decal with the slogan "In God We Trust" on license plates in place of the county where they live.

Just so you know.

20. Kentucky: (Effective July 12) A law makes it more difficult for thieves to sell stolen copper for immediate cash at recycling centers by delaying payments.

How do they intend to determine whose merchandise is stolen and whose not? Looks like honest dealers will get delayed payments! If there are any.
