AB67 Attorney General: Reproductive Privacy Act: enforcement.

Direction

Abortion otherAI label

Expands abortion access model confidence 90%

Authorizes the Attorney General to investigate, enjoin, and impose civil penalties up to $25,000 for violations of the Reproductive Privacy Act, which protects against liability for pregnancy-related actions, thereby strengthening enforcement of abortion access protections.

If it appears to the Attorney General that a person has engaged, or is about to engage, in any act or practice constituting a violation of the Reproductive Privacy Act, the Attorney General may, in their discretion, bring an action in the name of the people of the State of California in the superior court to enjoin the acts or practice or to enforce compliance with the Reproductive Privacy Act.

Abortion travel interstate shieldAI label

Expands abortion access model confidence 80%

Expands the Reproductive Privacy Act's protections (which shield aiding reproductive rights including out-of-state travel) by adding Attorney General enforcement powers, investigations, subpoenas, and civil penalties against interfering persons or entities.

Existing law, the Reproductive Privacy Act, prohibits a person from being subject to civil or criminal liability, or otherwise deprived of their rights, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome or based solely on their actions to aid or assist a woman or pregnant person who is exercising their reproductive rights as specified in the act.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds enforcement mechanisms (AG actions, injunctions, investigations, subpoenas, civil penalties up to $25k, and funding for enforcement) to the Reproductive Privacy Act, which protects abortion access and aiding it (including interstate travel for care). This strengthens legal safeguards for abortion without adding restrictions, bans, or limits on access itself. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
