The California Assembly on Monday passed legislation that would give all married spouses and domestic partners, regardless of their gender, equal opportunity to change their family name when they marry or register as domestic partners. Lawmakers approved AB 102, the Name Equality Act, by a 45-20 bipartisan vote. The bill is authored by Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, and co-sponsored by Equality California and the three California affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
