SACRAMENTO—Assembly Bill 175 continues to make rounds in the California Legislature, where the bill has undergone multiple revisions. Introduced on Jan. 8, AB 175 attempts to revise California’s Foster Care Bill of Rights, changing the rights of foster children.
Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson), the bill’s author, commented at a hearing for the bill that “Assembly Bill 175 will add rights related to cultural competent care, access to computer technology, privacy, and respect toward LGBT status and gender identity.”
