Almost half of U.S. states have passed laws that attack #reproductiverights, but Arizona is the first state that borders CA.
I’m proud to legislate in a state that is responding by opening the door for AZ providers to administer reproductive care to their patients in CA.
CA limits what you can name your baby. Ex: Accent marks aren’t allowed on birth certificates 🚫. Want to name your baby José? You’ll have to settle for Jose.
There’s no justification for stripping residents of their correct names & cultural heritage. AB 2156 aims to fix this.
🎶 This ain’t Texas, it’s CA… 🎵
Even Texas allows for accents, tildes, etc., on vital records. CA, the most diverse & populous state, does not. “Beyoncé” wouldn’t even be recorded accurately! It’s time to pass the #IdentityIntegrityAct & record the actual names of residents.
AB 2156, the #IdentityIntegrityAct, just sailed out of committee! There is no reason for CA to prohibit diacritical marks (accents, tildes, etc.) on state records such as birth certificates & marriage licenses. If Beyoncé had been born in CA, even she'd be denied! #PonleAcento
I have bags of used batteries and battery-embedded products at home that I don’t know what to do with. The fact that I’ll be able to drop them off at a Target, for example, when the bill is implemented is VERY EXCITING. Props to @MeganMekelburg for all her hard work.
Thank you @GavinNewsom for signing the Responsible Battery Recycling Act as part of the climate package🌎
#SB1215 & #SB2440 will create a statewide collection and recycling program for consumer batteries and products that contain batteries 🔋♻️ #CALeg

29 weeks pregnant with insomnia in full force. Trying to take a quick nap before work, and am feeling personally attacked by what sounds like 12 leaf blowers in my neighborhood. The most obnoxious and useless invention. Ban them.
If reports of an impending SCOTUS decision reversing #RoeVWade are true, this is a sad and scary day for reproductive rights in the US, and I fully support the effort to permanently enshrine the #RightToChoose in California.

No family should be forced to choose between their pet🐶and a roof 🏠over their heads. Today, I introduced #SB971 which will make pet ownership🐾paw🐾sible for more of California's renters #CALeg

Today I introduced SB 835 in honor of my late Chief, Marc Hanson. The bill will allow family members of a #CALeg employee who dies to remain on the legislature’s health plan for 120 days.
Most state workers enjoy a grace period to process grief and prevent a lapse in coverage.
Today - our first day back in Sacramento - I introduced a constitutional amendment, #SCA6, to ensure that statewide & legislative recalls in CA are democratic, fair & not subject to political manipulation.
