AB 2226 by 7 Democrats would eliminate the long-standing kindergarten option in California, replacing it with a kindergarten mandate, trampling parents' right to wait until they know their own child is more developed, at 6 years of age, to begin formal education. This bill would destroy another parental right.

Status | Votes: This anti-parent bill is scheduled for an August 5 hearing in the State Senate Appropriations Committee. On June 26, it passed the Senate Education Committee (voting yes were 5 Democrats + "Republican" Scott Wilk; voting no was Republican Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh). Earlier, on May 21, AB 2226 passed the Democrat-controlled State Assembly (voting yes were 57 Democrats and 4 Republicans: Alanis, Davies, Waldron, Wallis; voting no were 11 Republicans; abstaining were 3 Republicans and 5 Democrats). While a similar mandatory kindergarten bill in the State Senate died in committee May 16, the Assembly version (AB 2226) on May 16 was sent to the Assembly floor after passing its Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no were all the Republicans). Previously, on April 10, this anti-family bill passed the Assembly Education Committee (voting yes were all 5 Democrats; voting no was Republican Josh Hoover; abstaining was Republican Heath Flora).

AB 2319 by a dozen Democrats would replace "mother" with "all birthing people, including nonbinary persons and persons of transgender experience," and would force "all health care providers involved in the perinatal care of patients" at hospitals, primary care clinics, alternative birthing centers, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments, under threat of penalty, into brainwashing training -- teaching employees and contractors to believe and speak the unscientific fallacies that biological females can be biological males, and vice versa.

AB 3031 by homosexual activist Evan Low and "bisexual" activist Alex Lee, both Democrat assemblymembers from the Greater San Jose area, would create an official "LGBTQ+ Commission" to hammer its tyrannical agenda upon you all the more. The June 26 amendments make AB 3031 even worse by thoroughly embedding this "LGBT+ Commission" agenda in the state government bureaucracy, and fundraising for it, and in the future, funding it directly with taxpayer dollars.This bad bill states how perverse activists -- the victimizers of everyone else -- still claim to be victims.

 

As the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel's office describes AB 3031 as amended June 26:

This bill would establish the LGBTQ+ Commission in the state government. The bill would provide for the appointment of 9 members, appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the Assembly, and the Senate Committee on Rules. The bill would require members of the commission to serve at the pleasure of the appointing power, to be appointed for terms of four years, except as specified, and to elect one of their number to serve as chairperson of the commission. The bill would authorize the commission to appoint officers from its membership and form advisory committees, as specified, in order to carry out and fulfill its duties, and require the commission to determine the powers and duties of appointed officers and advisory committee chairpersons. The bill would establish the goals of the commission, which would include, among other things, acting in an advisory capacity to the Legislature and the Governor on policy matters affecting the state’s LGBTQ+ community and its members.

The bill would require the commission to have the powers and authority necessary to carry out its duties, including conducting fundraising activities that may require a payment or purchase to attend. The bill would, commencing July 1, 2025, require the commission to convene quarterly meetings to identify the statewide needs of the LGBTQ+ community and to assist in implementing supportive policies and initiatives to address the needs of the LGBTQ+ community. The bill would require the commission to submit a report summarizing certain information and making specified policy recommendations to the Legislature and the Governor by January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter.

The bill would establish the LGBTQ+ Commission Fund as a fund in the State Treasury to carry out the bill’s provisions in support of the commission, upon appropriation by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. The bill would require all moneys collected or received by the commission from gifts, bequests, or donation to, subject to the approval of the Department of Finance, be deposited in the treasury to the credit of the fund, as specified.

This bill would specify that the act does not apply to, among other things, any fundraising event held or organized by the commission, provided that a majority of members of the commission do not hear, discuss, or deliberate upon any item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission.

As AB 3031 describes itself in the bill:

 

Status | Votes: This deceptive and tyrannical bill is scheduled for an August 5 hearing in the State Senate Appropriations Committee. On June 25, it passed the Senate Governmental Organization Committee (voting yes were 10 Democrats, abstaining were all the Republicans + Democrat Anthony Portantino). Previously, on June 18, AB 3031 passed the State Senate Judiciary Committee (voting yes were nearly all the Democrats; abstaining were both Republicans). On May 22, this bad bill passed the State Assembly (voting yes were 58 Democrats and 4 Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis; no one voted no; abstaining were 13 Republicans and 5 Democrats). Earlier, AB 3031 passed the State Assembly Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no was Republican Jim Patterson; abstaining were Republicans Diane Dixon, Kate Sanchez, and Tri Ta). Earlier, AB 3031 on April 9 was approved by the Democrat-controlled Assembly Human Services Committtee (all Democrats voted yes and both Republicans abstained).

 

State Senate 

 

SB 954 by 3 Democrat Party state senators would promote the lie that condoms are effective pregnancy prevention and ignore STDs and other harms resulting from teen fornication. This bad bill further sexualizing children would require California public schools "to make internal and external condoms available to all pupils" from 7th grade onward. It would additionally require at schools from 9th grade onward to "make condoms available by placing condoms in a minimum of two locations on school grounds where the condoms are easily accessible to pupils during school hours without requiring assistance or permission from school staff." There is no provision for parental notification or consent.

The June 3 amendments make SB 954 worse. As the Legislative Counsel's Office describes the amendments: "The bill would require the State Department of Education to monitor compliance with the requirements of the California Healthy Youth Act as part of its annual compliance monitoring of state and federal programs ... The bill would require the governing board or body of a public school to designate one employee at each schoolsite to implement these provisions."

Status | Votes: This bad bill has been sent to the State Assembly Appropriations Committee after its June 25 passage in the Assembly Health Committee (voting yes were all 12 Democrats + "Republicans" Heath Flora and Marie Waldron; voting no were Republicans Joe Patterson and Kate Sanchez). Previously, on June 12, SB 954 passed the Assembly Education Committee (Democrats voted yes, while both Republicans abstained). Earlier, SB 954 on May 22 passed the State Senate (voting yes were 29 Democrats; voting no were 8 Republicans and 1 Democrat; abstaining were 2 Democrats). Previously, SB 954 on May 16 passed the State Senate Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no were both Republicans). Importantly, to escape committee, SB 954 was amended to make itself ineffective unless funded by other legislation: "(g) The implementation of this section is contingent upon an appropriation for its purposes in the annual Budget Act or another statute." Earlier, SB 954 on April 24 was approved by the Senate Health Committee (all the Democrats voted yes, Republican Janet Nguyen voted no, and Republican Shannon Grove abstained). On March 30, this bad bill was approved by the Senate Education Committee (Democrats for, Republicans against).

SB 957 by "LGBTQIA+" Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener of San Francisco would promote and collect information from children and adults about homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality via health forms and questionnaires (from state-run heath centers, K-12 schools, and childcare facilities), then report this personal information to county health departments as well as the State. There is no parental opt-out in the bill.

As the Democrat-run Senate Judiary Committee analysis described SB 957: "This bill requires the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to collect demographic data regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersexuality from third parties, as provided. The bill also adds sexual orientation and gender identity information to the demographic data that health care providers and specified agencies must disclose to local health departments and CDPH, as specified. The bill requires CDPH to prepare and post an annual report to the Legislature regarding this data."

 

Status | Votes: This bad bill has been sent to the State Assembly Appropriations Committee after being fast-tracked by being withdrawn from the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee on June 24 (without a hearing or a vote per Assembly Rule 96), despite being initially referred there. Previously, SB 957 passed the Assembly Health Committee on June 18 (voting yes were all the Democrats + Republicans Kate Sanchez and Marie Waldron; voting no was Republican Joe Patterson; not voting was Republican Heath Flora). Previously, SB 957 on May 21 passed the State Senate (voting yes were 31 Democrats; voting no were all 8 Republicans; abstainng was 1 Democrat). Previously, on May 16, it passed the Senate Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no were both Republicans). On April 2, this bad bill was approved by the State Senate Judicary Committee (Democrats for, Republicans against), following its March 20 passage by the State Senate Health Committee (Democrats for, Republicans against).

SB 959 by Democrat Party State Senator and "LGBTQIA+" activist Caroline Menjivar of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley would require the State of California "to create an internet website where the public can access information and resources to support TGI individuals and their families in accessing trans-inclusive health care and other support services in the state, including, but not limited to, a general description of trans-inclusive health care, information on how to access directories of providers providing gender-affirming services, and resources for victims of hate incidents and hate crimes."

This bad bill pushing unnatural and unhealthy sexual behavior defines “TGI” as "transgender, gender diverse, or intersex." In particular, SB 959 stresses how the State's website must refer visitors to pro-"sex change" doctors, stating the website must include information about "trans-inclusive health care, including gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care," without a minimum age to access this "information."

Status | Votes: This bad bill has been referred to the State Assembly Appropriations Committee after its June 18 passage in the Assembly Judiciary Committee (Democrats voted yes, Republicans voted no). Previously, on June 11, it passed the Assembly Health Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats + "Republican" Marie Waldon; voting no were Republicans Heath Flora, Joe Patterson, and Kate Sanchez). On May 21, SB 959 passed the State Senate (voting yes were 29 Democrats; voting no were 8 Republicans and 1 Democrat; abstaining were 2 Democrats). Earlier, on May 16, it passed the Senate Appropriations Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no were both Republicans). Importantly, this bill struggled to pass without available funding, so the author amended it as follows: "The bill would authorize the agency to accept donations for the purpose of supporting and maintaining the internet website, and would make those donations available upon appropriation by the Legislature for that purpose." Previously, SB 959 on April 3 passed the Senate Health Committee (voting yes was every Democrat but one; voting no was Orange County Republican Janet Nguyen; abstaining was Democrat Steve Glazer and Republican Shannon Grove).

SB 1174 by Democrat Party State Senator Dave Min of Orange County would prohibit cities from requiring registered voters to present identification before voting. Of course, prohibiting proof that you are who you say you are promotes both voter fraud by individuals and election fraud by corrupt "vote counters."

The bill would add to the California Elections Code: "A local government shall not enact or enforce any charter provision, ordinance, or regulation requiring a person to present identification for the purpose of voting or submitting a ballot at any polling place, vote center, or other location where ballots are cast or submitted, unless required by state or federal law. For the purpose of this section, “local government” means any charter or general law city, charter or general law county, or any city and county."

Yet without voter identification -- especially photo ID -- we shatter the "one person, one vote" American standard. Since our Democrat-controlled state government has statewide laws that do not require voter ID, it's up to local governments that care about accuracy and honesty to require voter ID locally. But they can't under SB 1174, legislation that is both anti-democracy and anti-America.

Status | Votes: This bad bill is on the Assembly floor after its June 19 passage in the Assembly Local Government Committee (Democrats voted yes, Republicans voted no). Previously, on June 12, it passed the Assembly Elections Committee (Democrats voted yes, Republicans voted no). Earlier, SB 1174 on May 21 passed the State Senate (voting yes were 30 Democrats; voting no were 8 Republicans; abstaining were 2 Democrats). Earlier, on May 1, it passed the Democrat-controlled Senate Local Government Committee (4 Democrats voted yes; both Republicans voted no; Democrat Steve Glazer abstained). On April 2, this bad bill passed the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee (Democrats voting yes, the sole Republican voting no).

SIGNED BY NEWSOM

AB 1955 by homosexual activist Chris Ward of San Diego and 11 other homosexual activists, plus two other Democrat Party legislators, have "gutted and amended" AB 1955 to legally prohibit any government-school employee or contractor from disclosing "any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent." This outrageous bill is against parents, children, science, and health. It is being pushed because anti-parental-rights Democrat Party Attorney General of California Rob Bonta has no legal basis in state law to sue pro-family school boards that have parental rights policies on sexually-confused children.

AB 1955, as amended May 22, according to the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel:

1. Would provide "resources" promoting "LGBTQ" as natural and beneficial to "LGBTQ" children and their parents and guardians:

"This bill would require the State Department of Education to develop resources or, as appropriate, update existing resources, for supports and community resources for the support of parents, guardians, and families of LGBTQ pupils and strategies to increase support for LGBTQ pupils, as specified."

2. Would ban any school within California's K-12 "public" school system from informing parents of "a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression...without the pupil’s consent" and would prohibit K-12 government schools from punishing an employee who "supported a pupil" by grooming children via pro-"LGBQT" "rights," "work activities," or "certain instruction":

"This bill would prohibit school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and the state special schools, and a member of the governing board or body of those educational entities, from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule, or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent unless otherwise required by law, as provided. The bill would prohibit employees or contractors of those educational entities from being required to make such a disclosure unless otherwise required by law, as provided. The bill would prohibit employees or contractors of school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, or the state special schools, or members of the governing boards or bodies of those educational entities, from retaliating or taking adverse action against an employee on the basis that the employee supported a pupil in the exercise of specified rights, work activities, or providing certain instruction, as provided."

Status | Votes: On July 15, this anti-parent bill was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom (see our response). Previously, the final legislative vote -- June 27 in the State Assembly -- was 60 Democrats yes, 15 Republicans no. The day before, on June 26, this anti-parent bill passed the Democrat-Party-controlled Assembly Education Committee (Democrats for, Republicans against). Previously, on June 17, this gutted-and-amended bill ("substantially amended," according to pursuant to Assembly Rule 77.2) was referred the State Assembly Education Committee. On June 13, this bad bill passed the State Senate (29 Democrats voted yes, 8 Republicans voted no, and 3 Democrats abstained: Marie Alvarado-Gil, Monique Limón, Henry Stern). Previously, on June 10, this bad bill passed the Senate Appropriations Committee (Democrats for, Republicans against), after being withdrawn from the Senate Health Committe and fast-tracked to the Appropriations Committee. On May 29, this bad bill passed the Senate Education Committee (Democrats voted yes, Republicans voted no).

DEAD FOR THE YEAR

AB 2007, authored by Democrat Assemblymember Tasha Boerner of coastal San Diego County and co-authored by 3 homosexual activist Democrat assemblymembers, would create and fund with taxpayer dollars a three-year pilot program of "Unicorn Homes," where sexually-confused 18- to 24-year-olds can sleep, eat, and frolic. AB 2007 will fund immoral, anti-family "LGBTQIA+" groups that promote their unnatural and harmful agenda upon vulnerable children. AB 2007 would fund "local community-based organizations that provide a majority of its services to the LGBTQ+ community...in up to 5 selected counties that provide transitional housing for LGBTQ+ youth, 18 to 24 years of age." And who will be the "host families" of the "transitional housing for LGBTQ+ youth"? Homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals and more. Will sexual activities that these older, depraved people do with the young, sexually-confused adults be called "molestation" or "consensual"? This bad bill is silent on this perverse powder keg.

Status | Votes: On May 16, this costly bad bill died on the "suspense file" when it failed to escape the State Assembly Appropriations Committee before its legal deadline to pass. Previously, on April 23, this bad bill passed the Assembly Human Services Committee (all the Democrats voted yes, while both Republicans -- Bill Essayli and Devon Mathis -- abstained). Earlier, on March 30, this bad bill passed the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee (Democrats voted yes, Republicans abstained).

AB 2030 by Republican Laurie Davies would permit state agencies to award contracts up to $250,000 to an "LGBT business enterprise," defined as "a business enterprise that is at least 51-percent owned by a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person or persons, or, in the case of any publicly owned business, at least 51 percent of the stock of which is owned by one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender persons, and whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more of those individuals."

Status | Votes: On May 16, this costly bad bill died on the "suspense file" when it failed to escape the State Assembly Appropriations Committee before its legal deadline to pass. Previously, on April 16, AB 2030 was approved by the Assembly Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy Committee (voting yes was all the Democrats plus both Republicans: Josh Hoover of Sacramento County and Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs area.)

AB 2200 by Democrat Ash Kalra and 21 other Democrats ushering in government-controlled "health care," leading to rationing of care, long waiting times, even denial of needful care. 

Status | Votes: This foolish, irresponsible, and inhuman bill died on the "suspense file" in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on May 16 due to its massive cost. Earlier, on March 23, this bad bill passed the Assembly Health Committee (voting yes were 9 Democrats, voting no were all 4 Republicans, abstaining were 3 Democrats).

SB 59 by a dozen Democrat Party state legislators plus "Republican" assemblywoman Laurie Davies, would further promote transsexuality by calling sexually-confused women "men" and promoting the lie that you can change your sex -- when no one can alter their sex chromosomes. This bad bill expands upon Newsom & the Democrats' SB 760 from 2023, which requires California public schools to have "at least one all-gender restroom...stocked with menstrual products" for students in first grade and onward.

As the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel's office describes SB 59: "This bill would enact the Menstrual Product Accessibility Act, which would require all women’s restrooms, all all-gender restrooms, and at least one men’s restroom in a building owned and used by the state to be stocked with menstrual products, as defined, available and accessible to employees and the public, free of cost, at all times."

Status | Votes: SB 59 on June 10 was "gutted and amended," and is now a bill about electric car batteries. The original SB 59 is therefore dead for the year. Previously, before it was completely amended, SB 59 had been referred to the State Assembly Health Committee. Earlier, on January 29, this bad bill passed floor of the State Senate (voting yes were 31 of 32 Democrats plus "Republican" Scott Wilk).

SB 1007 by Democrat Steven Bradford to give “descendants of slaves” big money to buy a house. The Democrat-run Legislative Counsel's Digest: "This bill would establish the Homeowner’s Assistance for Descendants of Enslaved Persons Program for purposes of making, upon appropriation by the Legislature, financial aid and assistance for the purpose of purchasing, owning, or maintaining a home available to descendants, defined to include African American descendants of chattel enslaved persons." The bill text includes: "Financial aid or assistance provided pursuant to this program shall be used to assist descendants with purchasing, owning, or maintaining real property to be used as a principal residence, including to subsidize mortgage payments, for homeowner’s insurance, and any other means that will assist descendants with owning and maintaining a home." This bad bill promotes three big lies: 1) The lie that racial identity is above American identity; 2) The lie that you cannot be responsible financially because of your heritage; 3) The lie that "racism" causes poverty, when Democrat Party politicians have caused massive inflation with their foolish policies.

Status | Votes: On May 16, this racist and expensive bill died on the "suspense file" of the State Senate Appropriations Committee. Earlier, on April 2, it passed the Senate Housing Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; voting no was Republican Kelly Seyarto; abstaining was Republican Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh.

SB 1013, another "black reparations" bill by Democrat Steven Bradford that would have paid up to $4,000 annually in property taxes for black "descendents of slaves." This is not only categorically racist, therefore unfair, but outright theft of the public treasury, the equivalent of vote buying using your taxpayer dollars.

Status | Votes: On May 16, this racist and expensive bill died on the "suspense file" of the State Senate Appropriations Committee. Earlier, on April 24, it passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee (voting yes were all the Democrats; abstaining was the sole Republican, Brian Dahle).

SB 1012 by San Francisco Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener (he's an "LGBTQIA+" activist, and his bill is coauthored by a dozen more Democrats plus "Republican" assemblywoman Marie Waldron) would legalize mind-altering psychedelic drugs, such as DMT, mescaline, MDMA, psilocybin, and psilocyn. This dangerous bill is similar to the author's bill, SB 58 from 2023, which was vetoed. Legalizing these harmful, "recreational drugs" for 21-year-olds would, for all practical purposes, open the door to teens and pre-teens getting it. A stoned society is not a safe society.

From the April 15 analysis of the Democrat-controlled State Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee:

Opponents write that “There is no conclusive evidence from scientific medical research substantiating the efficacy and innocuousness of the psychedelics. All drugs should go through proper FDA approval process for the protection of citizens.” Opponents write that “According to Dr. Roneet Lev, former Chief Medical Officer of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, psychedelics can cause serious negative consequences such as cardiac issues, seizures, depression, amnesia, acute anxiety, and hallucination, and are dangerous to users and bystanders alike. People can react to the drugs differently regardless. Recently, an off-duty pilot almost killed 83 passengers due to his using magic mushrooms. Even though he was handcuffed, the drug still empowered him to try turn off the engine. There are many medications for pain and depression without the serious negative consequences. Our veterans deserve better than being guinea pigs."

The California State Sheriffs’ Association writes “…we are concerned about government condoning and facilitating the use of mind-altering drugs, especially those included as Schedule I controlled substances. We believe SB 1012 sends the wrong message about using drugs especially since the bill requires government licensure and a regulatory scheme to facilitate such use. Additionally, there are provisions of the bill’s regulatory plan to which we object. Specifically, the bill provides that a local government shall not ban or completely prohibit regulated psychedelic facilitators operating in accordance with the bill and rules created pursuant to the bill within its boundaries. At the very least, local governments should have some say as to whether they will be complicit in this risky venture.”

Status | Votes: On May 16, this costly bad bill died on the "suspense file" when it failed to escape the State Senate Appropriations Committee before its legal deadline to pass. Previously on April 23, this bad bill passed by just 1 vote in the State Senate Public Safety Committee (3 Democrats -- Wiener, Skinner, Bradford -- voted yes; Democrat Wahab and Republican Seyarto voted no). Previously, on April 15, this bad bill narrowly passed (also by 1 vote) the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee (voting yes were 7 Democrats; voting no were Republicans Janet Nguyen and Scott Wilk, along with Democrats Marie Alvarado-Gil and Angelique Ashby; abstaining were Republican Roger Niello and Democrat Richard Roth).

SB 1056 by Democrat Party State Senator Susan Rubio, along with seven other Democrats, like the still-alive AB 2226, would eliminate the long-standing kindergarten option in California, replacing it with a kindergarten mandate, trampling parents' right to wait until they know their own child is more developed, at 6 years of age, to begin formal education. This bill would destroy another parental right.

Status | Votes: This anti-parental-rights bill died May 16 on the "suspense file" of the State Senate Appropriations Committee (read more).
