State Senator Scott Weiner really delivered this session, not just #SB79 but also #SB497 👏🏻
"California lawmakers passed legislation this week to prevent health providers from releasing transgender patients’ confidential medical records in investigations of gender-affirming care in states that ban treatment for minors." https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5501349-california-transgender-medical-records-bill/
Disappointed in my Assemblymember Damon Connolly for voting NO on #SB79, but thrilled it nonetheless passed 41-17.
GREAT NEWS for housing, transit, and environment in California! https://cayimby.org/legislation/sb-79/
Here's my actual testimony!
Also, one of my city council reps reached out to me afterwards to be in touch further about social housing, affordable housing, etc etc
This is a very hot topic in California right now, especially LA: #SB79 would override local height restrictions around public transit stations.
Most #urbanists consider this an obvious good. But within the #socialist community, not everyone loves giving private developers this freedom.
