LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2670, Schiavo. Awareness campaign: abortion services.
Under existing law, the State Department of Public Health is responsible for the statewide administration of various programs and policies relating to personal health, including maternal, child, and adolescent health. Existing law requires the department to develop a coordinated state strategy for addressing the health-related needs of women, including implementation of goals and objectives for women’s health, as specified.
This bill would require the department to develop an awareness campaign to publicize the internet website “abortion.ca.gov” to the general public, health care providers, health care professional associations and societies, health care employers, local public health officers, and local health departments. The bill would require the department to implement the awareness campaign upon an appropriation by the Legislature for that purpose.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 123261 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

123261.
 (a) To combat the delays and impairments to timely abortion and reproductive services that individuals face when they are misled by certain pregnancy clinics, the State Department of Public Health shall develop an awareness campaign to publicize the internet website “abortion.ca.gov” to the general public, health care providers, health care professional associations and societies, health care employers, local public health officers, and local health departments.
(b) The department shall implement the awareness campaign described in subdivision (a) upon an appropriation by the Legislature for that purpose.
