Minors Can Now Sue Parents Without Their Knowledge
Author(s):
Zbur
This bill allows minors living in residential facilities to initiate juvenile court proceedings against their parents on their own, without parental knowledge or consent. Social workers would then be required to investigate the parent's home even without any accusation of wrongdoing. It also speeds up court review timelines and makes it easier for young adults up to age 21 to re-enter foster care. While it aims to protect children in genuine abuse situations, it raises serious parental rights concerns by giving children in residential facilities significant legal power to challenge their parents.

Expanding Abortion Without Limits
Author(s):
Aguiar-Curry
Would expand who can legally perform abortions in California and remove the rule limiting certain providers to performing them only in the first trimester. Under this bill, trained and licensed health care professionals such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse-midwives would be able to perform abortions regardless of how far along the pregnancy is, provided they are properly authorized and have completed the required training. It also would protect California physicians from discipline based solely on abortion-related penalties from other states.

Muslim holy days as official state Holidays
Author(s):
Haney
Would add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to California’s official state holidays. Courts would stay open on these holidays, but public schools and community colleges could choose to close if local school boards and unions agree. State employees would also be allowed to use holiday credit or leave time to celebrate Eid or other cultural and religious holidays on the dates their communities observe them. Schools could also hold educational activities about these holidays.

Student ID cards to include sexual or reproductive hotline at public colleges and universities. “While we are grateful for Governor Newsom’s veto of AB 624, it is painfully obvious his primary concern was not the safety of girls and the lives of their unborn children. Rather, he feared some brave school officials might direct students to pro-life pregnancy resource centers instead of big abortion and their allies,” said California Family Council President Jonathan Keller.
