Honestly, this law you are referring to has been on the books for several years, and is in many more states than just California. It has to do with domestic violence, which trumps the 4th Amendment. It is considered exigent circumstances, which is one of the few allowable exemptions of the amendment.
I have no problem with taking guns from felons,
I have a problem "BIG" "HUGE" problem with some pissed off girlfriend
walking into the police station saying Havasu is a danger to her and others, because you BOINGED her best friend
DUE PROCESS..prove I am unstable, NOT I prove I am not
From what I read, it was just signed into law effective this new year.
Beach, you are correct. This specific law was just signed into law, however there are many similar laws in the books nearly as stringent.

Look at SB218, which has been in effect since the year 2000.
The new law isn't that law. The new law allows for the police to execute a search warrant for guns and ammo on your property just because someone thinks you might hurt yourself. Any family member that doesn't like you owning a weapon could simply call the police and say they heard you comment that you might hurt yourself. True or not, then you as the gun owner need to prove you're ok. While there are other laws on the books, they usually go into effect after an event. This law is like giving you a speeding ticket before you even get in your car just because someone heard you were in a hurry.
