Great news! California AB 1784 passed the #CASenate and is heading to Gov Newsom’s desk. This bill would provide parental leave & stronger pregnancy-related accommodations for undergraduates, and finally make it illegal to discriminate against students because they’re parents! #CAPolitics

AB 1784 passed! California is a (huge!) step closer to ensuring that all pregnant and parenting postsecondary students have state anti-discrimination protections, parental leave, and meaningful access to pregnancy accommodations. The bill is now heading to Governor Newsom for signature.
