Pictured: California Legislators
California is so hell bent on mutilating children under the guise of “gender affirming care” that it won’t be satisfied with just pushing puberty blockers and unnecessary surgeries on California kids, that will will lay claim to any kid that is even temporarily physically present in California regardless of what state our country that child is from. SB 107 would allow California to lay claim to children and prevent anyone anywhere from taking their own kids back.
“56.109. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 56.10, a provider of health care, health care service plan, or contractor shall not release medical information related to a person or entity allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care in response to any civil action, including a foreign subpoena, based on another state’s law that authorizes a person to bring a civil action against a person or entity that allows a child to receive gender-affirming health care.
“(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 56.10, a provider of health care, health care service plan, or contractor shall not release medical information to persons or entities who have requested that information and who are authorized by law to receive that information pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 56.10, if the information is related to a person or entity allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care, and the information is being requested pursuant to another state’s law that authorizes a person to bring a civil action against a person or entity who allows a child to receive gender-affirming health care.
“(c) For the purposes of this section, ‘person’ means an individual or governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality.”
And yes, a child tricked into declaring themselves “transgender” is all it takes for the California courts to claim full custody of that child, even if the child is taken to California without their parents’ permission.
“3424. (a) A court of this state has temporary emergency jurisdiction if the child is present in this state and the child has been abandoned or it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, or a sibling or parent of the child, is subjected to, or threatened with, mistreatment or abuse, or because the child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care, as defined by paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.”
And so much for the “full faith and credit” for other states…
“3453.5. (a) A law of another state that authorizes a state agency to remove a child from their parent or guardian based on the parent or guardian allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care is against the public policy of this state and shall not be enforced or applied in a case pending in a court in this state.
“(b) For the purpose of this subdivision subdivision, gender-affirming health care’ shall have the same meaning as provided in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
“…
“819. (a) It is the public policy of the state that an out-of-state arrest warrant for an individual based on violating another state’s law against receiving providing, receiving, or allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care is the lowest law enforcement priority.
“(b) California law enforcement agencies shall not make or intentionally participate in the arrest of an individual pursuant to an out-of-state arrest warrant for violation of another state’s law against receiving providing, receiving, or allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care.
“(c) No state or local law enforcement agency shall cooperate with or provide information to any individual or out-of-state agency or department regarding the provision of lawful gender-affirming health care performed in this state.
“…
“1548.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of state law, no state or local law enforcement shall make or intentionally participate in the arrest or recognize any demand for extradition of an individual pursuant to a criminal action related to the law of another state that criminalizes allowing a person to receive or provide gender-affirming health care where that conduct would not be unlawful under the laws of this state to the fullest extent permitted by federal law.”
