All five of these bills have passed the California State Legislature, and have been sent to Newsom to sign. This market resolves NO if he vetoes any of them. It resolves YES if he signs all five, or allows them to pass without a signature or veto.
SB 418 (Menjivar) – Ensure Equal Access to Care for All
Prohibits health plans from excluding participation based on certain protected classes; requires health plans to cover and pharmacists to dispense up to a 12-month supply of hormone replacement therapy when medically necessary.
AB 82 (Ward) – Health Data Privacy and Safety
Strengthens confidentiality safeguards in the exchange of healthcare information for transgender people.
SB 59 (Wiener) – Transgender Privacy Act
Requires courts to automatically seal records related to name and gender marker changes.
SB 497 (Wiener) – Transgender State of Refuge
Requires law enforcement to obtain a warrant before searching the state's prescription drug database, establishing criminal penalties for improper access.
AB 1084 (Zbur) – The Transgender Records Act
Streamlines the process to obtain court orders for name and gender marker changes, requiring petitions be granted within 6 weeks.
(I think the last day Newsom can veto any of these is Oct. 12th. If I'm wrong, resolution date will be extended)

He signed all except SB 418, which he vetoed. Should resolve to no. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/13/governor-newsom-issues-legislative-update-10-13-25/
@Rachell Ah, so I WAS off by a day or two. Glad I waited when I didn't see any reportage, then. Honestly shocked he signed that many. Resolving NO
@Marnix Most of the bills framed the right to gender transition as a right to privacy, which I assume will be the Democratic Party approach to transgender issues from here out.
Newsom vetoed a bunch of laws (including SB 87, which would have changed heath education standards towards something more trans-inclusive), but notably didn't touch any of the bills this question is about. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/10/gavin-newsom-vetoes-gender-education-bill-declines-to-sign-other-trans-protections/
@Marnix Whoops, bought no and was about to post this. That's on me for not reading closely.
