Summary

The law prevents California health providers, insurers and contractors from releasing any records about a person’s gender‑affirming medical or mental‑health treatment, or about a child receiving such care, when the request comes from another state’s subpoena that is based on that state’s anti‑trans laws. It also creates new filing requirements for foreign subpoenas and bars disclosure of other "sensitive services" under similar circumstances. The measure took effect immediately to shield transgender Californians and those who support them.
