Toni Atkins
Governor Jerry Brown Signs 
Two Key Bills Authored by
Assembly Majority Leader Toni Atkins

Last week, Governor Brown signed two major pieces of legislation, AB 1121 and AB 154, authored by Assemblymember Toni Atkins on issues important to Democrats for Equality.

AB 1121 provides transgender people seeking legal name changes to reflect their gender identity with a streamlined and inexpensive process that protects their privacy. Current law requires a transgender person to obtain a court order and to publish the name change application in the newspaper. This process can be expensive and also publicly exposes the person to potential discrimination, harassment or even violence because of being transgender. AB 1121 creates a new administrative option for transgender people seeking to amend the gender marker on a California birth certificate through the State Registrar.  It also deletes the costly newspaper publication requirement.    Click here to read more about AB1121.

AB 154 broadens the categories of trained healthcare professionals who may perform early abortions to include nurse practitioners, physicians' assistants, and certified nurse midwives. This expansion will help alleviate a shortage of abortion providers in California, where more than half the counties have no abortion provider.   Click here to read more about AB 154.
