SB 81 (Arreguín, D-Oakland) Details
Introduced on Jan. 17. Pending a policy committee assignment by the Senate Rules Committee.
SB 81 is a placeholder bill by Sen. Jesse Arreguín to prohibit health facilities from collaborating with, providing access to, or providing information about patients to immigration authorities. CHA is working closely with Sen. Arreguin’s office to ensure the proposal not only aligns with existing laws and current hospital practices, but also eases implementation for hospitals.
