We are proud to announce this year’s slate of 4 feminist bills making their way through the Legislature, each designed to transform and reimagine California.
Our Solís Policy Institute (SPI) fellows bring their creative and expansive collaboration to shape legislation that moves us closer to our feminist future. These SPI teams have been working hard for months to craft legislation and secure authors, and now they are moving their bills through committees. WFC is proud to support California state policy that centers health, safety, and justice for ALL:
- AB 2759: Domestic violence protective orders: possession of a firearm.
Trauma Services & Prevention
Presents a comprehensive set of revisions aimed at enhancing the fairness, consistency, and overall efficacy of the law on firearm restrictions, while concurrently bolstering protections for survivors of domestic violence and the broader public. - AB 2527: Incarceration: pregnant persons.
Criminal Justice Reform
Ensures that incarcerated pregnant individuals in county detention facilities and state prisons have access to nutritious meals and clean, free water. It also seeks to prohibit the use of solitary confinement for pregnant individuals who are incarcerated. - AB 2136: Controlled substances: analyzing & testing.
Health and Prosperity
Facilitates the expansion of drug-checking services within public health departments and their partners by eliminating specific legal barriers and dismantling provisions that criminalize such services. - AB 2490: Reproductive Health Emergency Preparedness Program.
Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
Establishes the Reproductive Health Emergency Preparedness Program (RHEPP) to expand access to reproductive health care – including treatment of pregnancy loss and miscarriage, and abortion – in Emergency Departments across California.
Stay tuned as we follow these bills through the legislative cycle. Together, we are building a better future for California!
