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.
Existing law requires the Governor to proclaim various days as holidays and days of remembrance. This bill would require the Governor to annually proclaim November 20 as Transgender Day of Remembrance
Existing law authorizes a person to file a petition with the superior court seeking a judgment recognizing their change of gender to female, male, or nonbinary. Under existing law, if the person whose gender is to be changed is under 18 years of age, the petition is required to be signed by at least one of the minor's parents or a guardian or attorney of the minor, or if both parents are deceased and there is no guardian of the minor, by a near relative or friend of the minor. Under existing law, to be operative January 1, 2023, if the petition does not include a signature from one of those persons, the court is required to make an order directing the person or persons whose required signatures are not on the petition to show cause why the petition should not be granted by filing a written objection, as specified. This bill, instead, would require the court to make that order if the petition is not signed by all living parents, and would require the order to direct the parent or parents who did not sign the petition to show cause why the petition should not be granted by filing a written objection, as specified. Existing law requires, if the petition is filed by a guardian appointed by the juvenile court or the probate court, by a court-appointed dependency attorney appointed as a guardian ad litem, or by an attorney for a minor who is alleged or adjudged to be a ward of the court, and if either or both parents are deceased or cannot be located, the guardian to cause, not less than 30 days before the hearing, a notice of the time and place of the hearing or a copy of the order to show cause to be served on the child's grandparents, as specified. This bill would instead, in those circumstances, require the court to make an order directing the living grandparents to show cause why the petition for a court order to recognize a change in the minor's gender and sex identifier should not be granted within 6 weeks, as specified. The bill would additionally make other technical changes. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
