Appallingly many states still ban abortion and prosecute women. A woman or pregnant person who decides to stop a pregnancy is protected from prosecution under AB 2223 by Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks of Oakland, even if the abortion is self-induced or takes place outside of the legal system. Additionally, it does away with the necessity that coroners look into stillbirths and shields from legal or financial consequences anybody who assists a woman in voluntarily terminating her pregnancy.

AB 2626, introduced by Democratic Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon of Whittier, forbids professional licensing boards from suspending or revoking the licenses of physicians, physicians assistants, nurse practitioners, or nurse midwives who conduct abortions. Additionally, it stops licensing boards from refusing licenses to doctors who received a criminal conviction for providing abortions in another state.

The three proposals are supported by the state's Future of Abortion Council, which also includes the attorney general, lieutenant governor, and a number of patient advocacy organizations. The law with the biggest resistance, AB 2223, sparked tense demonstrations outside the Capitol amid claims that it is overbroad and legalizes infanticide, something that advocates strongly dispute.

Two women in Kings County were incarcerated and convicted of murder after having stillborn children and tested positive for methamphetamine use before state legislators concentrated on establishing a safeguard for abortion rights. The contentious instances prompted Bonta to warn law enforcement not to punish mothers who miscarry or give birth to a stillborn child.

The California Values Act, or SB 54 (often referred to as the California sanctuary state legislation), was approved on October 5, 2017, and it became effective on January 1, 2018. The measure places restrictions on how state and local authorities can help U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") carry out deportations. SB 54 forbids law enforcement officials from inquiring about the immigration status of community members and forbids state and local law enforcement from holding people for deportation without a court order. Additionally, it establishes a structure to provide secure public places, such as those seen in courts, medical institutions, and schools.

State legislatures are still fighting for measures that would support or prohibit sanctuary laws. A relationship between local law enforcement and the DHS, according to those who support legislation to abolish sanctuary counties, makes it easier to deport potential criminals who are unlawfully present in the nation.

The California English Learner Roadmap, which replaced the 1998 English Learner policy resulting from Proposition 227 in 1998, was unanimously adopted by the California State Board of Education on July 12, 2017. The new Roadmap policy provides a vision and direction for English Learner (EL) education that recognizes the value of ELs' primary language and culture, views EL education as a system-wide responsibility, and acknowledges the need to offer EL students a rich and stimulating curriculum from early childhood to grade 12. Students can be prepared with the verbal, educational, and social skills and competencies necessary for college, a career, and civic participation in a global, diverse, and multilingual world by having systems in California schools that welcome and respond to a diverse range of EL strengths, needs, and identities.

The constantly shifting character of ELs, which is challenging to capture with the current snapshots of statewide data, is a crucial aspect of their variety. Successful ELs leave the population when they are reclassified, less successful ELs stay, and new ELs are added at every grade level as new pupils come from overseas, as well as from different states or schools.

Despite this variety, there are several EL traits that are universal. Although at least 59 additional languages are spoken in California schools, Spanish is the primary language spoken at home by the great majority (85%) of the state's EL children. Vietnamese (3%) and Filipino (1%), the next most popular languages after Spanish, are spoken worldwide. In contrast to the overall poverty rate of 21 percent for school-aged children in California, the poverty rates for ELs range from 74 to 85 percent, which is a significant factor in politicians' attention to this population.

While most ELs in California are native-born, a significant portion of older EL learners are foreign-born, which is not surprising. According to national statistics, 82 percent of current EL students in grades K–5 are citizens, although this number falls to 55 percent in grades 6–12. The majority of California's ELs, roughly 180,000 students, are in kindergarten. In upper grades, there are fewer ELs since some of them have developed their English language skills to the point where they can be reclassified, leave school, or relocate outside of California.

ELs often cannot change their classification until they enter the second grade. According to data, reclassification mostly happens in grades 3-5. Most students who have previously been ELs are reclassified as proficient in English by the high school grades).

According to the legislation' opponents, passing them would weaken the bond amongst local police officers and the communities they protect. The collaboration that now exists between immigrant communities and local law enforcement would be threatened by such laws.

Advocates for abortion rights claim that the instances pave the way for criminal prosecution of anyone who choose to have a self-induced abortion and work to prevent that outcome.
