Sydney Kamlager:
Provide full reproductive services in jails and prisons
Support by ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union, Aug. 2020): Ensures that pregnant people who are incarcerated receive comprehensive, unbiased information about their reproductive options, get access to timely prenatal and postnatal care,
and receive reasonable accommodations and support that help ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy.Summary by ACLU-SoCal: California law and the US Constitution require jails to provide health care for incarcerated persons, which includes
reproductive health care. But pregnant people who are incarcerated often receive biased, coercive information about their reproductive options, get substandard prenatal/postnatal care that endangers their health, and are denied reasonable accommodations
that help ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy. That's why we need AB 732.
Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 33-1-6 on Aug/29/20; Sen. Sydney Kamlager voted YES; passed Assembly 63-0-16 on Aug/30/20; Signed by Gov. Newsom on Sept/30/

Sydney Kamlager:
Repeal law requiring coroners to investigate stillbirths
Summary by Cal Matters (9/27/22): Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of 12 bills, establishing some of the strongest abortion protections in the nation. Collectively, the new laws aim at improving access, ensuring providers and patients
cannot be sued or prosecuted, and funding procedures and travel costs for low-income individuals. The most contentious measure abolishes the requirement that coroners investigate stillbirths & prohibits the prosecution of anyone who ends their pregnancy
even if the abortion is self-induced or happens outside of the medical system. Protesters & conservative lawmakers claimed the legislation would legalize infanticide, which the sponsor has characterized as "disinformation," adding that Californians will
no longer have to fear having their "pregnancy policed by state systems."Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 30-9-1 on Aug/29/22; State Sen. Kamlager voted YES; passed Assembly 54-19-7 on Aug/30/22; Signed by Gov. Newsom on Sep/27/22.
