Welcome to the SaveCalifornia.com Legislation Center

Updated April 23, 2025

Here are the initial worst bills of the Democrat Party state legislators (controlling 3/4ths of the seats in both the California Assembly and State Senate; also controlling the committees and floors).

The last day for bills to be introduced was Feb. 21 (yet there's nothing prohibiting bills from being amended, or even "gutted and amended" with completely new language).

Bill hearings in Democrat-Party-controlled committees began in March; the last day for bills to pass their policy committees in their house of origin is May 2; the last day for bills to pass the Appropriations Committee of their house of origin is May 23; the last day for each house to pass bills introduced in that house is June 6. 

MORE 'TRANS' FOR CHILDREN

AB 727 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Mark Gonzalez + 4 other Democrats would promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-transsexuality suicide hotline number to be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12, including at private schools.

According to AB 727, a suicide hotline for "sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression." This would also be a mandate upon private religious schools that issue student ID cards.

Status | Votes: AB 727 has been sent to the Assembly Appropriations Committee after its April 9 passage in the Assembly Education Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats, voting no were both Republicans).

AB 908 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Jose Solache would require an annual compliance review of the current law requiring "social sciences to include a study of the role and contributions of, among others, people of all genders, Latino Americans, LGBTQ+ Americans, and members of other ethnic, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic status groups." The goal of this bad bill is to ensure pro-"LGBT+" curriculum is taught to children in all K-12 government school districts.

Status | Votes: AB 908 has been sent to the Assembly Appropriations Committee after its April 9 passage in the Assembly Education Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats, voting no were both Republicans).

AB 932 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin was amended April 9 and no longer permits lawsuits if biological males are not allowed to be on females' sports teams, and vice versa. Instead, the bill would now prohibit "gender" discrimination in city and county sports programs. In the California statutes, “gender” means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” As such, this bill would still promote transsexuality over people's consciences, would invade girls' sports in particular, and opens the door to lawsuits against dissenters.

As the Legislative Counsel's Digest describes the amended AB 932: "No city, county, city and county, or special district, including, but not limited to, a community services district, recreation and park district, regional park district, regional park and open-space district, regional open-space park district, or resort improvement district, or local educational agency shall discriminate against any person on the basis of sex or gender in the operation, conduct, or administration of community youth athletics programs or interscholastic athletic programs, or in the allocation of parks and recreation facilities and resources resources, or school and recreation facilities and resources, that support or enable these programs."

Status | Votes: AB 932 has been scheduled for an April 29 hearing in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Previously, on April 8, this bad bill passed the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism Committee (voting yes were 5 Democrats; not voting were 2 Republicans (Jeff Gonzalez and Tom Lackey) and 1 Democrat (Sharon Quirk-Silva)

AB 1084 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Rick Zbur + other "LGBTQ Caucus" members would fast-track legal changes to minors' "genders." The new “gender identifier” will be granted unless parents file a written objection “showing good cause” within 6 weeks of the original petition being filed – and courts have up to 30 days to notify them. This is does not give adequate time for parents to find out, get an attorney, and file a well-writtten objection "showing good cause" why the new "gender identifier" should not be granted.

Status | Votes: AB 1084 has been sent to the Assembly Health Committtee after its March 25 passage in the Assembly Judiciary Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no was Republican Kate Sanchez; there were no votes recorded for Republicans Diane Dixon and Bill Essayli).

Status | Votes: AB 1487 has been sent to the Assembly Appropriations Committee after its April 22 passage in the Assembly Health Committee (voting yes were all the committee's Democrats; voting no were Republicans Heath Flora, Joe Patterson, Kate Sanchez; no vote recorded for Republican Phillip Chen).

SB 59 by Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener and other Democrats in the "LGBT+ Caucus" would eliminate public information on "all filed petitions for a change of gender and sex identifier," for the purpose of keeping children's "sex changes" hidden from their parents. The bill also permit lawsuits to financially harm anyone disclosing the information. 

From the Legislative Counsel's Digest of SB 59, as amended April 10:

"This bill would expand that confidentiality to apply to all filed petitions, regardless of the age of the petitioner, and any papers associated with a proceeding for a change of gender and sex identifier, for a single petition for change to the petitioner’s name and to recognize the change to the petitioner’s gender and sex identifier, or for a change of name to conform the petitioner’s name to the petitioner’s gender identity, as specified.

"This bill would make these confidentiality requirements retroactive and require the Judicial Council to ensure that all courts have implemented a method to ensure the court maintains the confidentiality of these petitions and associated papers that were filed prior to the effective date of this act. The bill would authorize, if a person or entity discovers that a court record is not being kept confidential by the court, a person or entity to apply ex parte and without a fee to the court for an order to make those records confidential. The bill would prohibit those records from being posted publicly, on the internet or otherwise, by anyone other than the petitioner."

"This bill would make a violation of these confidentiality requirements an injury and, commencing 6 months after the effective date of this act, would authorize a person or entity to institute proceedings for injunctive relief, declaratory relief, or a writ of mandate to enforce them. The bill would require a court to award reasonable attorney’s fees and costs to a plaintiff who prevails on a cause of action against a private party pursuant to this authority."

"This bill would also authorize a petitioner who has been harmed by a disclosure or continuing disclosure of confidential information in violation of these confidentiality requirements, as specified, to, commencing 6 months after the effective date of this act, bring a civil action against the private person or entity that caused the harm. The bill would require a private person or entity found liable to pay actual damages or liquidated damages, punitive damages, and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, as specified."

"This bill would require the court, without a public hearing, to seal these types of petitions, as specified, and all court records and papers associated with that proceeding, upon the request of the petitioner and a finding that a petitioner has met the criteria set forth in a specific California Rule of Court."

Status | Votes: SB 59 has been sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee after its April 22 passage in the Senate Judiciary Committee (voting yes were all the committee's Democrats; voting no were both of the committee's Republicans).

MORE BABY-KILLING 

AB 40 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Mia Bonta expands the definition of emergency medical services to include "reproductive health service." So paramedics will hand out "birth control" pills to teens and ER doctors will perform baby-killing abortions?

Status | Votes: AB 40 has been sent to the State Senate after its April 21 passage on the Assembly floor (voting yes were nearly all the Democrats and Republican Greg Wallis; voting no were 9 Republicans; with no vote recorded for 9 Republicans and 3 Democrats). Before floor passage, the author was permitted to turn AB 40 into an urgency measure (meaning it will go into effect immeidately upon signing by the governor), which increased its voting requirement to two-thirds of the current 79 assemblymembers, which is 53. If Republicans had spoken out to expose the harm of AB 40, it might have been stopped, instead of receiving the "yes" votes of 57 Democrats and 1 Republican.

[AB 45 would also] "prohibit the release of research records ... in response to a subpoena or a request or to law enforcement if that subpoena, request, or the purpose of law enforcement for the medical information is based on, or for the purpose of enforcement of, either another state’s laws that interfere with a person’s rights to choose or obtain an abortion or a foreign penal civil action."

ENDANGERING LIVES AND SAFETY

DEAD FOR THE YEAR: AB 1333 by Democrat Party Assemblyman Rick Zbur would limit justifiable homicide, including limiting self-defense in cases of home invasions

Status: On March 12, the ultra-liberal West Hollywood "LGBTQIA+" author announced he was withdrawing AB 1333 due to "misleading information" that cause public outrage. The story behind the story is that Democrat Party politicians routinely vote pro-criminal and anti-gunowner. But "pushing the envelope" of morality with AB 1333 was going to hurt the Democrat Party brand. So the Democrat Party "leadership" at the State Capitol made the New Communist Democrat author of AB 1333 pull his bill.

SB 403 by Democrat Party State Senator Catherine Blakespear SB 403 has been gutted and will no longer target dementia patients. Instead it now extends "indefinitely" California's horrible, dangerous "assisted suicide" law, which doesn't even guarantee the choice of the person. SB 403 is still a bad bill killing people who could otherwise live decades. 

From the Legislative Counsel's Digest:

"Existing law, the End of Life Option Act, until January 1, 2031, authorizes an adult who meets certain qualifications, including, among other things, being a resident of the State of California, and who has been determined by their attending physician to be suffering from a terminal disease, as defined, to make a request for an aid-in-dying drug for the purpose of ending their life. Existing law makes specified violations of the act a crime, including knowingly coercing or exerting undue influence on an individual to request or ingest an aid-in-dying drug for the purpose of ending their life. This bill would repeal the January 1, 2031, expiration date of the act, thereby extending the operation of the act indefinitely."

Status: SB 403 was last scheduled for an April 23 hearing in the Senate Health Committee
