Assembly Passes AB 260 to Safeguard Reproductive Healthcare in California
(SACRAMENTO, CA) — The California State Assembly has passed AB 260, authored by Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters), with bipartisan support. The bill reaffirms California’s commitment to protecting reproductive healthcare, particularly access to medication abortion, amid growing national attacks on reproductive rights and as other states roll back reproductive healthcare access.
“AB 260 is about ensuring Californians have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies without fear or interference from political agendas,” said Majority Leader Aguiar-Curry. “It safeguards providers, strengthens access through telehealth, and ensures mifepristone—a safe, FDA-approved medication for over 20 years—remains legal and available throughout California, especially for those in rural and underserved areas.”
