California governor signs four LGBTQ rights laws

Source: LGBTQ Nation


--snip--

SB 132 requires the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will now be required to ask inmates about their gender identities and pronouns and house them accordingly. This comes just months after a federal judge ruled that calling a transgender person by their correct pronouns would show bias.

The governor also signed SB 932, a bill that will require the state to collect information about LGBTQ people and the COVID-19 pandemic.

AB 2218, which Newsom also signed, creates a Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund in the state, which will go towards helping transgender, non-binary, and intersex individuals access housing and health care.

The fourth bill was SB 1255, which is intended to fight discrimination in health care faced by people living with HIV.
