Today, legal fairness and justice for transgender Californians is a reality. Last year, Governor Brown signed two bills that the Transgender Law Center co-sponsored, AB887 and AB433. As of now, they have become law.

AB 887, the Gender Nondiscrimination Act, authored by Assemblymember Toni Atkins, strongly clarifies the existing employment, housing, and other civil rights protections for all Californians. The law makes it clear that discrimination is not legal in California.

AB433, the Vital Statistics Modernization Act, authored by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, streamlines the process for Californians to obtain and update birth certificates.
