Existing law provides that every individual possesses a fundamental right of privacy with respect to their personal reproductive decisions. Existing law prohibits the state from denying or interfering with the right to choose or obtain an abortion before the fetus is viable, or when the abortion is necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person. Existing law requires an abortion to be performed by a specified licensed or certified health care provider and prohibits an abortion from being performed on a viable fetus if continuation of the pregnancy did not pose a risk to the life or health of the pregnant person. The United States Constitution generally requires a state to give full faith and credit to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. Existing law sets forth procedures by which a person may enforce a judgment for the payment of money issued by the court of a state other than California. This bill would declare another state's law authorizing a civil action against a person or entity that receives or seeks, performs or induces, or aids or abets the performance of an abortion, or who attempts or intends to engage in those actions, to be contrary to the public policy of this state. The bill would prohibit the application of that law to a case or controversy heard in state court, and would prohibit the enforcement or satisfaction of a civil judgment received under that law. The bill would declare these provisions to be severable. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
The California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 provides for the regulation of private postsecondary educational institutions by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in the Department of Consumer Affairs. The act applies to private entities with a physical presence in the state that offer postsecondary education, as defined in the act, to the public for an institutional charge. Existing law requires an out-of-state private postsecondary educational institution to comply with specified requirements, including providing the bureau evidence of the institution's accreditation. The act is repealed by its own provisions on January 1, 2023. This bill would authorize public institutions of higher education established by a state other than the State of California to apply for an approval to operate, and obtain an approval to operate by means of its accreditation, as specified. The bill would require, upon granting an approval to operate, the bureau to regulate the public institution of higher education through the powers granted, and duties imposed, by the act, as those powers and duties apply to a private postsecondary educational institution, as if the public institution of higher education were a private postsecondary educational institution. The bill would subject, upon obtaining an approval to operate, the public institution of higher education to any provisions of, and any regulations adopted pursuant to, the act that apply to a private postsecondary educational institution, as if the public institution of higher education were a private postsecondary educational institution. The bill would authorize the bureau to adopt regulations to carry out the purposes of the bill as emergency regulations, as specified. The provisions of this bill would be implemented only if the act is extended by another measure. Under existing law, the act specifies conduct by regulated institutions that, if undertaken, is a crime. Because this bill would extend the application of those criminal provisions, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
This measure would proclaim May 18, 2022, as AAPI Day Against Bullying and Hate.
This measure would urge President Joseph Biden and Congress to facilitate the resettlement of Ukrainian refugees and call upon Governor Newsom to aid in their resettlement within California.
This measure would recognize the essential role that museums have in California as educational institutions and would proclaim May 2022 as Museum Month in California.
