SAN FRANCISCO -- The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERs) voted this week to ensure that transgender CalPERS members have equal access to health insurance benefits.

The vote removes exclusionary language in health care policies that both the California Department of Insurance and the California Department of Managed Health Care have deemed discriminatory.

Transgender Law Center praised the decision.
