18	SB 29	Laird	Civil Actions: Decdent's Cause of Action	SB 29 eliminates the sunset on CCP 377.34 (enacted by SB 447 (Laird-2021- a Dream Alliance Priority) to ensure California families continue to have accountability for human suffering when their loved ones die while seeking justice in court. Current law enacted by SB 447 allows the family of injured individuals to recover for pain and suffering when their loved one dies. Before SB 447, damages for pain, suffering, or disfigurement died with the victim, giving wrongdoers an enormous financial incentive to delay case resolution by any means possible, knowing that a plaintiff's death would wipe out any pain and suffering damages. SB 447 is set to sunset on January 1, 2026, meaning previous restrictions would return unless further legislative action is taken.

20	AB 1312	Schiavo	Hospital pricing	This bill, the Patient Debt Prevention Act will require all hospitals to pre-screen patients for eligibility for discount and charity care under the Hospital Fair Pricing Act. The process to apply for financial assistance is burdensome for patients, hospital staff, poorly communicated and often cannot be done electronically. This deters patients from seeking assistance when families need it the most. Requiring pre-screening of patients to be presumptively eligible for discount or charity care before they are discharged will ensure more patients receive the financial assistance that they are eligible for, seek care when they need it, and prevent more families from falling into medical debt.

This bill would require a grocery retail store or retail drug establishment that offers self-service checkout to include self-service checkout in the employer’s illness and prevention program, as required by regulations of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health. The bill also would require a grocery retail store or retail drug establishment that intends to implement self-checkout to notify workers, their collective bargaining representatives, and the public at least 60 days in advance of the implementation.

Earning a parole grant is incredibly challenging - with only about 14% of people earning grants last year. This population also has the lowest recidivism rate of people released from prison each year - around two to four percent for general recidivism and less than one percent for recidivism involving felony crimes against persons.

27	AB 1231	Elhaway	Criminal procedure: felony diversion	Many Californians are incarcerated for low-level non-violent felonies, such as vandalism, and drug offenses. In many cases, judges would like the option to consider offering people charged with these low level felonies the opportunity to participate in light-touch programs and services, just as job skills training or outpatient behavioral healthcare, that will do more to improve public safety and help them contribute to their communities.

Additionally the bill includes basic consumer protections and prevents long-term fiscal damage to a student's credit score by prohibiting this kind of debt from being reported to credit reporting agencies. Finally, to prevent major disruptions to a student's academic progress, the bill requires institutions to provide a one-term re-enrollment grace period so that instituions can work with students to get them back on track with their debt.

Since 2019, child labor violations have increased by 88% nationwide, with injury rates among young workers nearly doubling from 2011 to 2020.

For low income and working households, the towing of a vehicle is often catastrophic. Poverty tows are debt collection tools that often harm low-income drivers and don’t yield any ticket revenue for cities.

This will reduce overpayments, and will improve the likelihood that benefits will be repaid to the State when appropriate, all without traumatizing and destabilizing vulnerable families. Current law unnecessarily criminalizes people who are unable to consistently meet the rigorous demands of the cumbersome public benefits reporting process.

Currently, the definition of family in Paid Family Leave is too narrow, excluding important caring relationships especially in LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities. Current law allows for job protected leave to care for seriously ill chosen family, but without access to income during leave, working Californians must chose between their loved ones and financial security while navegating serious illness.

The bill also prohibits these records from being posted publicly on the internet or elsewhere. With harassment and violence against transgender and nonbinary people on the rise, and a federal administration that is openly hostile to the transgender community, it is now more important than even for California to protect their privacy and safety.

All parents or guardians can be subject to a misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 and imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year. The poorest families also face a sanction of the child (or children's) portion of the CalWORKs grant, which pushes the family's assistance can drop below half of the federal poverty line into deep chlid poverty, demonstrated to destabilize families into separation through the child welfare system. This bill follows the evidence that families struggling to support their children are better off when provided support, and is even more urgent given the cruel reality that many children are unable to attend school due to immigration raids, reduced protections for LGBTQ+ students, or other risks.

AB 704 builds upon 2022's SB 731 (Durazo). SB 731 was a Dream Alliance Priority Bill that was signed into law.
