Past: Defeated Five Really Bad Bills

Through our hard work, and the hard work of our allies, we were able to stop some of the worst bills that were introduced this past year. Here are the four really bad bills that CHCA helped defeat this session:

• AB 1993 Employment: COVID-19 vaccination requirements. COVID-19 vaccine requirement for employees or independent contractors.
• SB 866 Minors: vaccine consent. Allow minors 15 years and up to consent to any vaccine.
• SB 871 Public health: immunizations. COVID-19 vaccine requirement for school or daycare.
• SB 920 Medical Board of California: investigations: record requests. Medical Board investigator could records without patient consent or court subpoena.
• SB 1464 Law enforcement: public health orders. Sheriffs and peace officers would be required to enforce public health orders.

With the help of our lobby team, California Health Coalition Advocacy lobbied hard against this year’s bills that infringe on the rights of Californians to make health decisions for themselves and their children. CHCA and its lobbyists continue to:

• Meet with California State Legislators and Staffers
• Strategize with Other Organizational Leaders in California
• Work to Get Good Bills passed and Bad Bills Stopped
• Train and Empower Constituents to Lobby Their Representatives
• Provide up to date Take Action Tool Kits on our Website
• Act as a Resource to Legislative Committee Consultants

Current: Fighting Four Bad Bills to the End

CHCA, along with our allies from the Convention on Health Rights, are asking Governor Newsom to VETO the remaining bad bills that have landed on his desk. We have submitted letters to the Governor and continue to send out calls to action including asking for people and organizations to join our Twitter campaign targeting the Governor.

Here are the four remaining bad bills we are fighting so hard to stop:

• AB 1797 Immunization registry.
• AB 2098 Physicians and surgeons: unprofessional conduct.
• SB 1419 Health information. (Limiting access of parents to the medical records of their children when related to certain services.)
• SB 1479 COVID-19 testing in schools: COVID-19 testing plans.

Future: Introduce Good Bills and Stay Proactive in Sacramento

In addition to our plans to fight against these new potential threats to our health freedom, CHCA will continue to push for good legislation in 2022. We and our lobby team will meet with all the new legislators who will be sworn in this fall and we will begin building positive, professional relationships with them and their staff.

The legislative fight will require a tremendous amount of work and money, and we will need your support. Would you be willing to help us reach our fundraising goal by making a generous donation today?
