While we were able to kill multiple incredibly horrifying Bad Bills this year – AB1400 (universal healthcare), AB1993 (jab or job), SB871 (jab or your education), SB920 (illegal searches and seizures of medical offices and records), SB1464 (defunding law enforcement that refused to enforce illegal health orders), and SB1390 (fining and de-platforming social media accounts that spread or “amplified” “misinformation”) – a few were able to sneak by and are headed to or on Newsollini’s desk (see list, below).
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Newsollini has 12 calendar days (excluding Sunday’s) from the date he is presented with a bill* until September 30 to either:
- (a) Sign it into law,
- (b) Veto it, or
- (c) Do nothing and allow it to become law via “pocket signature”
*The 12 day limit does not apply to the Bad Bills we identify, below, because they were presented after August 20, 2022.
HOW DO WE GET HIM TO VETO THEM???
Remember: Gav is gunning for President (my opinion). Even if he isn’t (he is), he has lofty political goals, so this year, right now – like many of his legislative counterparts whom we were able to persuade to vote “No” or abstain on other Bad Bills – he has a major incentive to listen to the People to try and gain their votes and we have a major opportunity to get him to listen to us.
SO WHAT DO WE DO? WHEN? HOW??
Get on the phones, emails, faxes, and one-click campaigns to demand that he veto the following Bad Bills with the details below:
Will change the California Medical Privacy act to authorize a health care provider or service plan to disclose your child’s medical information to a school-linked services coordinator without your knowledge or consent.
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 8/30/22, VETO DEADLINE 9/30/22.
The California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) must establish a “Viral Surveillance Hub” (VSH) to communicate with laboratories conducting viral surveillance that identify a potential novel virus or variant. Welcome to Shanghai!
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 8/30/22. VETO DEADLINE MONDAY, 9/30/22.
Each school district, county office of education, and charter school will have to create a COVID-19 testing plan and designate one staff member to report information on its program to the CDPH “in a format that facilitates a simple process of communication” (aka: digital). The bill imposes a state-mandated local program (read: not optional, despite what Pan misrepresented) and the CDPH gets to choose the tests your child will be forced to use, not you.
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 8/30/22. VETO DEADLINE MONDAY, 9/12/22.
Expands “student-focused health clinics” throughout the state and moves them onto school campuses and authorizes them to provide primary medical care (including immunizations (with your consent (hopefully))), behavioral health, dental care, substances abuse, sexual and reproductive health, and gender affirming health care services on school campuses and/or through mobile health or telehealth (“Then why the need for school clinics?!” . . . Your guess is as good as mine). Clinics shall collect and report data to the CDPH.
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 8/31/22. VETO DEADLINE TUESDAY, 9/30/22.
Will require a social media platform to disclose to the public, on or before October 1, 2024 – and annually thereafter – statistics regarding the extent to which content on the platform “violated its community guidelines” or policies” and were recommended or otherwise amplified by platform algorithms, disaggregated by category of policy violated. The bill applies to platforms with at least 1,000,000 discrete monthly users, and defines “content” as “statements or comments made by users and media that are created, posted, shared, or otherwise interacted with by users on an internet-based service or application.” Any platform that does not comply will be subject to a civil penalty of up to $100,000.00 for each violation that may be recovered only in a civil action brought by, among other specified public attorneys, the Attorney General. Nope, this is NOT Pan’s Senate Bill 1390 that we killed. This was his backup plan. #CrimeNeverSleeps
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 9/6/22. VETO DEADLINE MONDAY, 9/30/22.
Prohibits the representative of a minor from inspecting the minor’s records when the records relate to certain services, including the diagnosis or treatment of an infectious, contagious, or communicable disease; prevention of a sexually transmitted disease (Hep-B, HPV vaccines); mental health; substance abuse; sexual/reproductive health; sexual assault; and/or “intimate partner violence.” (See Fam. Code, sections 6926-6930).
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 9/9/22. VETO DEADLINE THURSDAY, 9/30/22.
Will prohibit a provider of health care, a health care service plan, or a contractor from releasing medical information related to a child receiving gender-affirming health care or mental health care in response to a criminal or civil action, including a foreign subpoena, and will prohibit law enforcement agencies from making or participating in the arrest or extradition of an individual pursuant to an out-of-state arrest warrant. The bill will prohibit removal of a child from a parent or guardian based on that parent or guardian allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care in violation the child’s home state’s law. The bill will authorize a court to take temporary jurisdiction over a child who has not been able to obtain gender-affirming health care, and will prohibit a court from considering the taking or retention of a child from a person who has legal custody of the child, if the taking or retention was for obtaining gender-affirming health care or mental health care. This bill might be the most unconstitutional, illegal, and terrifying one, yet. Under this bill, a parent / guardian without legal and/or physical custody can take a child in violation of the child’s home state court’s lawful orders and laws to another state for medical services they are not legally authorized to consent to or permit. Right now, it is for gender-affirming care, next it’s… ANYTHING.
Enrolled and presented to the Governor 9/9/22. VETO DEADLINE THURSDAY, 9/30/22.
Will merge the 3 current CA Immunization Registry tracking systems into 1 statewide, digital system – the CA Immunization Registry (CAIR) – which will register all vaccines, not just those required for school (aka. includes COVID19, aka includes adults, too). Records will also include the recipient’s race/ethnicity (That’s weird! I wonder why?!). “Other entities” and individuals – not just students/patients, their families, and school officials – will have access to vaccine records (I wonder who???), and the bill will – until January 1, 2026 – authorize schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies (!!!) to use COVID19 immunization information “to perform immunization status assessments of pupils, adults, and clients to ensure health and safety.” Another terrifying bill. This is the gateway to unsolicited CPS surveillance, “wellness checks” and termination of the parent-child relationship. Note how they are brazenly going to target immigrant and minority communities with this. Assemblywoman Dr. Akilah Weber and her co-authors are SICK.
HAS NOT BEEN ENROLLED OR PRESENTED TO GOV. The Governor has 12 days to sign, approve without signing, or veto a bill, without exceeding the date of 9/30. If a bill is not acted on by 9/30 it is passed without signature and goes to the Secretary of State to be chaptered. Get your veto’s going!
Has not yet been enrolled or presented to the Governor, but will be within the next few days. VETO DEADLINE IS 9/30/22.
Designates as “unprofessional conduct,” subject to investigation and discipline by the California Medical Board, a surgeon or physician “disseminating” “mis” or “disinformation” related to COVID-19 and its risks of the virus, prevention, treatment, and vaccines (testing, efficacy, risks). “Disinformation” means misinformation that the licensee deliberately disseminated with malicious intent or an intent to mislead. “Misinformation” means “false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.” First they came for the doctors, but I said nothing because I was not a doctor…. We MUST speak up NOW. Not only does AB2098 spell the demise of fundamental rights, but of medical care in California. First, define “standard of care”? Is it the CDC’s “COVID-19 guidelines and recommendations” pre-August 11, 2022, or after? Is it Tony’s and the NIH’s scientific findings pre-2020 or after? Advances in science and medicine occur when doctors and scientists challenge conventional thinking or settled opinion. Good science and medicine is characterized by conjecture, refutation, debate, and openness to new data especially under “novel” conditions where no one is sure of what is “right.” Free, fierce debate is what catapults us to the answers, not blindly following guesses – or dictate – by others.
Has not yet been enrolled or presented to the Governor, but will be within the next few days. VETO DEADLINE IS 9/30/22.
