A new California state law could encourage “bad actors” around the world to circumvent prison laws by moving to the Golden State, says a conservative human rights group.

On September 30, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury`s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) released its “Sanctions Compliance Guidance for Instant Payment Systems,” designed to help financial institutions allocate their compliance resources based on their sanctions risks. Explaining how the law can deny parents access to medical information about their child if the child is in California, even if they were brought there or ran away, Kao said the law “creates a very bad incentive that essentially creates an exception to normal child protection by saying, that anyone can bring a child to California. And it is not treated in the way it would normally be treated if a child is removed from his or her custodial parent. It`s not too trivial to say that there will never be another like Mike.

Gallagher. “There`s a lot of misinformation about what this law does and doesn`t do,” a spokesperson for Newsom`s bureau told Fox News Digital.
“It protects parents seeking medical care for their child. States like Texas are trying to turn parents into criminals because they do what they think is best for their child. In California, we ensure that parents are not prosecuted if their children receive the care they need. “SB 107 protects families with transgender children by ensuring parents are not thrown in jail for giving their trans children access to health care,” Wiener told Fox News Digital about the law. Texas, Alabama and other states are literally threatening to lock up parents — and doctors — for authorizing this health care. SB 107 protects these parents and doctors by making clear that California will not be a party to these terrible laws.
