legislative counsel’s digest


SB 107, as amended, Wiener. Gender-affirming health care.
(1)  The United States Constitution generally requires a state to give
full faith and credit to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings
of every other state. Existing law, the Uniform Criminal Extradition
Act, requires the extradition of a person charged with a crime in another
state, as specified. Existing law sets forth procedures by which a person
may enforce a judgment for the payment of money and child custody
orders issued by the court of a state other than California. Existing law
authorizes a California court or attorney to issue a subpoena if a foreign

95
SB 107 —2—

subpoena has been sought in this state. Existing law generally prohibits
a provider of health care, a health care service plan, or a contractor from
disclosing medical information regarding a patient, enrollee, or
subscriber without first obtaining an authorization, unless a specified
exception applies, including that the disclosure is in response to a
subpoena.
This bill would prohibit a provider of health care, a health care service
plan, or a contractor from releasing medical information related to
sensitive services or related to a person or entity allowing a child to
receive gender-affirming health care in response to a criminal or civil
action, including a foreign subpoena, based on another state’s law that
authorizes a person to bring a civil or criminal action against a person
or entity that allows a child to receive gender-affirming health care.
The bill additionally would prohibit law enforcement agencies from
making, or intentionally participating in, the arrest of an individual
pursuant to an out-of-state arrest warrant based on another state’s law
against receiving providing, receiving, or allowing a child to receive
gender-affirming health care. The bill would prohibit the extradition of
an individual charged with violating another state’s law that criminalizes
allowing a person to receive or provide gender-affirming health care.
(2)  Existing law, known as the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction
and Enforcement Act, provides the state exclusive jurisdictional basis
for making an initial child custody determination, and permits a
California court to assume temporary emergency jurisdiction in specified
circumstances. Existing law permits a court to decline to exercise its
jurisdiction if it determines that it is an inconvenient forum and a court
in another state is a more appropriate forum.
Existing law permits a California court to decline to exercise its
jurisdiction if the petitioner has wrongfully taken the child from another
state or engaged in similar reprehensible conduct, except as specified.
Existing law prohibits a court from considering the taking or retention
of a child from a person who has legal custody of the child if there is
evidence that the taking or retention was a result of domestic violence.
The bill would prohibit the enforcement of an order based on another
state’s law authorizing a child to be removed from their parent or
guardian based on that parent or guardian allowing their child to receive
gender-affirming health care. The bill would prohibit a court from
finding that it is an inconvenient forum where the law or policy of
another state that may take jurisdiction limits the ability of a parent to
obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health

95
—3— SB 107

care, as defined, and the provision of such care is at issue in the case
before the court. The bill would authorize a court to take temporary
jurisdiction because a child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming
health care. The bill would additionally prohibit a court from considering
the taking or retention of a child from a person who has legal custody
of the child, if the taking or retention was for obtaining gender-affirming
health care or mental health care. The bill would declare its provisions
to be severable.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.​
State-mandated local program: no.​

95
SB 107 —8—

line 11 forum under the circumstances and that a court of another state is
line 12 a more appropriate forum. The issue of inconvenient forum may
line 13 be raised upon motion of a party, the court’s own motion, or request
line 14 of another court.
line 15 (b)  Before determining whether it is an inconvenient forum, a
line 16 court of this state shall consider whether it is appropriate for a
line 17 court of another state to exercise jurisdiction. For this purpose, the
line 18 court shall allow the parties to submit information and shall
line 19 consider all relevant factors, including:
line 20 (1)  Whether domestic violence has occurred and is likely to

line 38 it shall stay the proceedings upon condition that a child custody
line 39 proceeding be promptly commenced in another designated state

95
—9— SB 107

line 1 and may impose any other condition the court considers just and
line 2 proper.
line 3 (d)  A court of this state may decline to exercise its jurisdiction

line 7 proceeding.
line 8 (e)  If it appears to the court that it is clearly an inappropriate
line 9 forum, the court may require the party who commenced the
line 10 proceeding to pay, in addition to the costs of the proceeding in this
line 11 state, necessary travel and other expenses, including attorney’s
line 12 fees, incurred by the other parties or their witnesses. Payment is
line 13 to be made to the clerk of the court for remittance to the proper
line 14 party.
line 15 (f)  (1)  In a case where the provision of gender-affirming health
line 16 care or gender-affirming mental health care to the child is at issue,
line 17 a court of this state shall not determine that it is an inconvenient
line 18 forum where the law or policy of the other state that may take
line 19 jurisdiction limits the ability of a parent to obtain gender-affirming
line 20 health care or gender-affirming mental health care for their child.
line 21 (2)  For the purposes of this section, “gender-affirming health
line 22 care” and “gender-affirming mental health care” have the same
line 23 meaning as defined by paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section
line 24 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

line 26 3428. (a)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3424 or by
line 27 any other law of this state, if a court of this state has jurisdiction
line 28 under this part because a person seeking to invoke its jurisdiction
line 29 has engaged in unjustifiable conduct, the court shall decline to
line 30 exercise its jurisdiction unless one of the following are true:
line 31 (1)  The parents and all persons acting as parents have acquiesced
line 32 in the exercise of jurisdiction.

line 34 Sections 3421 to 3423, inclusive, determines that this state is a
line 35 more appropriate forum under Section 3427.
line 36 (3)  No court of any other state would have jurisdiction under
line 37 the criteria specified in Sections 3421 to 3423, inclusive.
line 38 (b)  If a court of this state declines to exercise its jurisdiction
line 39 pursuant to subdivision (a), it may fashion an appropriate remedy
line 40 to ensure the safety of the child and prevent a repetition of the

95
SB 107 — 10 —

line 1 unjustifiable conduct, including staying the proceeding until a


line 2 child custody proceeding is commenced in a court having
line 3 jurisdiction under Sections 3421 to 3423, inclusive.
line 4 (c)  If a court dismisses a petition or stays a proceeding because
line 5 it declines to exercise its jurisdiction pursuant to subdivision (a),
line 6 it shall assess against the party seeking to invoke its jurisdiction
line 7 necessary and reasonable expenses including costs, communication
line 8 expenses, attorney’s fees, investigative fees, expenses for witnesses,
line 9 travel expenses, and child care during the course of the
line 10 proceedings, unless the party from whom fees are sought
line 11 establishes that the assessment would be clearly inappropriate.
line 12 The court may not assess fees, costs, or expenses against this state
line 13 unless authorized by law other than this part.
line 14 (d)  In making a determination under this section, a court shall
line 15 not consider as a factor weighing against the petitioner any taking
line 16 of the child, or retention of the child after a visit or other temporary
line 17 relinquishment of physical custody, from the person who has legal
line 18 custody, if there is evidence that the taking or retention of the child
line 19 was a result of domestic violence against the petitioner, as defined
line 20 in Section 6211, or for the purposes of obtaining gender-affirming
line 21 health care or gender-affirming mental health care, as defined by
