California Friends:
Three very important bills for transgender Californians were handed to Governor Newsom last week. Please call his office at (916) 445-2841 and ask him to sign them.
SB 418: Health care coverage: prescription hormone therapy and nondiscrimination.
(Allows up to 12 months supply of prescription hormone therapy.)
SB 497: Legally protected health care activity.
(Tightens patient privacy for gender affirming care.)
SB 59: Change of name or gender and sex identifier.
(Expands confidentiality for legal name changes.)
