The laws, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom following approval from the state legislature, tackle a variety of objectives, many of which are tied to consumer rights and public safety.
Fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization, will be required to be covered under most insurance plans. The law also applies to diagnosis and infertility treatments. Religious employers are exempt from requirements. (SB 729)
CARE Court must provide updates to family members
Ever try to cancel a subscription service just to be met with inconvenient hoops to jump through, like having to call a phone number or even go to an in-person store?
You can request a drink lid at any bar
If someone feels safer at a bar if their drink is covered, they'll have easy access to lids after July 1. Bars now have to provide the lids to customers at their request. The bar owner, however, also has the right to charge for lids at a "reasonable" fee. Signs must also be posted in a prominent place with the following phrase: "Don't get roofied! Drink lids and drink spiking drug test kits available here. Ask a staff member for details." (AB 2375)
Pet insurers must explain premium cost increases
If a company offering pet insurance raises its premiums, it must now explain the reason why to its consumers. Explanations could include the pet's age, or a change in geological location, but policies have to give a reason and provide a heads up on exclusions, medical test requirements and waiting periods. (SB 1217)
Student ID cards need mental health resources printed on them
All student ID cards issued to children at public and private schools in grades 7-12 will now need mental health resources printed on them. The specific resource required is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which can be contacted by dialing "998" on any phone. Schools may also print a QR code on the ID's leading to the mental health resources internet website of the county in which the school is located.
