It’s been a busy last few days in the California Legislature as we come up against our end-of-session deadlines.
I’m so proud & excited to share that, in addition to #AB725, we’ve been able to move six more of my bills to Governor @GavinNewsom’s desk!

✅ HEALTHCARE ACCESS
#AB2037 — with the Governor’s signature, our communities will have more time to respond to, or plan around, the closure of a hospital or the loss of healthcare services.
With the #COVID19 pandemic, this is as vital as ever.

✅ JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS
#AB3092 will give more than 200 women who were sexually assaulted by ex-UCLA physician Dr. Heaps one additional year to seek justice (after years of having their cases time-barred by the statute of limitations).
They deserve this pathway to justice.

✅ KEEPING FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES
#AB2463 would help end the unconscionable practice of creditors foreclosing on Californians' homes over small debts not tied to the house.
With a pandemic and economic crisis, we need to be doing everything we can to keep folks in their homes.

✅ PROTECTING CONSUMERS
#AB2524 ensures that existing state law is enforced against unfair & deceptive practices in the debt settlement industry.
As more Californians seek help w/debt—this is an important first step to protect those who fall victim to bad actors in this field.

✅ SHORING UP OUR SOCIAL SAFETY NET
#AB3073 would ensure that we maximize CalFresh food benefits eligibility for those leaving our criminal justice system's jails or prisons—a key factor for incarcerated individuals' healthy re-entry into society.
No one deserves to go hungry.

These bills join #AB1851 on the Governor’s desk.
Given the challenges we faced this legislative session, I’m very proud of what we were able to accomplish for Californians.
