Trans medical data win protection
September 13, 2025
|Los Angeles Times
California lawmakers passed a bill this week that would expand the state's protections of transgender people by shielding their medical data from being shared with Republican-led states and law enforcement.
A MARCHER carries a transgender pride flag at a San Francisco event in June.
Authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), Senate Bill 497 builds on California's "Transgender State of Refuge" law - also by Wiener that passed in 2022 and guards transgender people from persecution from outside state laws and policies.
SB 497 would bar healthcare providers from releasing a person's gender-affirming healthcare data via a subpoena or request based on another state's laws.
The bill also would prevent law enforcement from using prescription drug-data to target individuals for receiving or providing care.
Democratic-led states, including California, have expanded the rights of LGBTQ+ people while Republican-led states and the Trump administration adopt laws and policies restricting their rights.
