SACRAMENTO—Democratic lawmakers voted down a bill April 24 that would have added information about licensed pregnancy centers to sexual education curriculums at California public schools.

“I am incredibly disappointed the Senate Education Committee failed to offer diverse choices and create informed futures for students by rejecting SB 1368,” Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, the bill’s author, posted April 25 on X.
