Karen Bass has been sworn in as the 43rd Mayor of Los Angeles in a historic inauguration at the Microsoft Theater, CBS Los Angeles reports.
The ceremony was initially scheduled to take place outside City Hall but was moved indoors due to rain.
Bass took a ceremonial oath of office administered by Vice President Kamala Harris, a longtime friend and former California attorney general. The formal oath was administered privately by the city clerk.
A new law aims to strengthen reporting requirements for technology companies to combat online predators seeking to exploit children. One dad told CBS News that he hopes the law will save children like his son, who died by suicide after becoming ensnared in a "sextortion" scheme when he was 17 years old.
