California Governor’s Health Bill Desk — 2026
The 2025–2026 Regular Session’s legislative passage period has concluded. AB 2575 and AB 1199 completed passage on 31 August — the last two measures whose outcomes were unresolved at the earlier snapshots. Adjournment decided nothing by itself: each measure below carries only the state its own newest authoritative action establishes.
