San Diego lawmaker's bill for discharged transgender troops among six LGBTQ bills signed

A bill by San Diego Assemblymember Chris Ward to help servicemembers discharged under the federal ban on transgender troops is among six LGBTQ Caucus priority bills Gov. Gavin Newsom signed. AB 1775 offers housing, employment and transition-to-civilian-life support. Other bills limit sharing of sexual-orientation and gender-identity data, require providers to notify the attorney general when subpoenaed about protected care, update the state's conversion-therapy ban after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down another state's, and widen access to HIV-prevention drugs. The governor's office framed the package as a response to the Trump administration.
