I don't know what you mean about Walmart, but the law went into effect in CA
on January 1. 2015, and it applies to eggs that are sold in CA too.

"Next month, all of California's 15 million egg-laying hens must be freed
from the cramped, restrictive battery cages that have long been used on most
egg farms. In the future, they will have enough space to stand up, lie down,
turn around, and spread their wings without touching another bird.

Though they are no doubt unaware of it, they have waited more than six years
and four lawsuits for the extra space. Proposition 2, which passed in 2008
by a landslide 63.5% of the vote, also covers gestating pigs and veal
calves, but there are few pig and veal operations in the state, so the law's
biggest effect is on the hens. A separate law requires all out-of-state egg
producers that sell to California (which gets about a third of its eggs from
farmers outside the state) to comply with the same housing standards for
hens."
