Summary

AB 2164 adds a new health‑safety code section that gives the same legal shield to people who, while in another state, helped or encouraged someone to obtain abortion or gender‑affirming services, as if they had done so in California, provided their actions were legal where they occurred. It also creates a penal‑code provision that prevents the governor from honoring extradition requests for such individuals unless the requesting state proves the person was physically present there at the time of the alleged crime and fled. The bill builds on the Reproductive Privacy Act’s existing ban on applying out‑of‑state laws to California courts.
