AB 350: Respecting Fluoride for Kids Act
Tooth decay is one of the most common, and preventable, childhood health problems in California. AB 350 expands access to fluoride varnish treatments for children, so that more kids can get basic preventive dental care regardless of their family's income.

AB 910: The Survivors Act
Survivors of human trafficking, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault sometimes have criminal records for acts they were forced or coerced into committing. AB 910 creates a process for survivors to petition for relief from those convictions, because a record that resulted from victimization should not follow someone for the rest of their life.

AB 1153: Funding Clean Streets Act
Abandoned recreational vehicles left on public streets create serious public health, safety, and environmental hazards in East Bay neighborhoods and our local governments often lack the funding to address them. AB 1153 gives public entities new tools to secure additional funding to remove and properly dispose of abandoned RVs, keeping our streets and neighborhoods cleaner and safer.

AB 1969: It Takes a Village Act of 2026
Children need connected communities. AB 1969 creates a California Coordinated Neighborhood and Community Services grant program to fund and strengthen neighborhood "cradle to career" networks across the state, integrating services and supports so that every child, regardless of zip code, has a real shot at economic mobility.

AB 1979: Health care services: artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence tools are showing up in health care faster than the rules governing them. AB 1979 ensures that direct-to-consumer AI health apps that use your medical records are subject to meaningful oversight, and prohibits health facilities from using AI to replace the professional judgment of a licensed health care provider. Technology should assist human clinicians, not replace them.

AB 1996: No More Child Poverty Act
California is one of the wealthiest states in the nation, yet too many of its children grow up in poverty. AB 1996 establishes a California Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council charged with developing and evaluating policies to cut overall child poverty in the state by 50 percent within ten years.

AB 2092: Early Childhood Integrated Data System
California already collects extensive data on children from birth to age five, but that information is scattered across multiple state agencies that can't legally share it with each other. As a result, the state can't identify child care deserts, track which kids are missing services, or understand disparities by race and income. AB 2092 designates a lead agency to manage an integrated early childhood data system and creates an interagency taskforce to connect that data, so California can actually see what's working and reach the children who need support most.

AB 2161: California Implementation of Federal H.R.1 Medi-Cal Eligibility Rules
HR 1 imposes new paperwork and work-reporting requirements on Medi-Cal recipients, rules that research consistently shows will cause people to lose coverage not because they aren't working, but because of bureaucratic hurdles. AB 2161 ensures California doesn't extend those requirements further than federal law demands, protecting coverage for millions of Californians who rely on Medi-Cal.

AB 2351: Shelter Bed Transparency Act
California can't effectively address homelessness without knowing how local governments are working to bring people inside. AB 2351 requires local governments to report their shelter bed capacity as part of their annual progress reports to the state Department of Housing and Community Development, strengthening California's coordinated statewide response to homelessness.

AB 2368: Indigent health care: information and planning
As federal cuts push more uninsured Californians toward county emergency health programs, counties need a plan and the public needs information. AB 2368 requires counties to develop and submit plans to the state on how they'll meet increased demand for indigent health care, while also creating a public-facing website where Californians can find out what safety-net health services are available in their county.

AB 2434: Visitor Protections and Safety Act
Decades of research confirm that maintaining family connections reduces recidivism and supports rehabilitation. AB 2434 protects in-person visits at correctional facilities by ending invasive searches of visitors, preventing last-minute visit cancellations, and ensuring we have a streamlined process that works.

AB 2600: Right to Counsel
No one should face deportation alone. Thousands of Californians have been detained and deported, and thousands more remain in ICE custody. This bill would ensure Californians facing deportation have a right to legal representation and protect the California economy from the $275 billion hit that would be imposed by mass deportation.

AB 2624: Immigrant Services Providers Privacy Protection
People who work to help immigrant communities should not have to fear being doxxed for doing so. AB 2624 extends existing tools to immigrant service providers shielding them from having their personal information publicly exposed and gives them real legal tools to prevent and respond to targeted harassment.

AB 2651: Informed Parents, Healthy Schools Act
Parents deserve to know whether their child's school has vaccination rates high enough to prevent the spread of disease. AB 2651 requires schools to notify parents when campus vaccination rates fall below the level needed for herd immunity, giving families the information they need to make informed decisions to protect their kids.

AB 2729: Employer Responsibility for Medi-Cal Trust Fund
When a company's employees earn so little that they rely on Medi-Cal for health coverage, taxpayers are effectively subsidizing that employer's labor costs. AB 2729 creates an Employer Responsibility for Medi-Cal Trust Fund, requiring businesses to contribute their fair share toward the cost of health coverage for their workers enrolled in Medi-Cal.
