SACRAMENTO — Gov. Newsom Sept. 20 signed an immigration bill package championed by the California Latino and Asian American and Pacific Islander or AAPI legislative caucuses. These bills push back against the injustice of reckless federal immigration raids that are causing deep fear and confusion across the state. They were signed on the heels of a recent decision by the US Supreme Court essentially greenlighting discriminatory tactics being used by federal immigration agents such as stopping people based on their perceived race, the language they speak or where they work.
The bills signed today by the Governor include:
AB 49 CA Safe Haven Schools Act (Asm. Muratsuchi, Asm. Ortega, Asm. Celeste Rodriguez, Sen. Gonzalez)
SB 81 Ensuring Healthcare Spaces are Safe (Sen. Arreguín)
SB 98 Sending Alerts to Families in Education (SAFE) Act (Sen. Pérez)
SB 627 No Secret Police Act (Sen. Wiener)
SB 805 No Vigilantes Act (Sen. Pérez)
