It's only in California--so far.
As California lawmakers recess for the summer, Assembly Bill 495, dubbed the “Family Preparedness Plan Act of 2025,” sits poised in the Senate Appropriations Committee. Authored by Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez (San Fernando-D), the bill claims to provide compassionate solutions for immigrant families facing sudden separations due to detention or deportation. But critics —including attorneys, parental rights advocates, and faith-based organizations — warn it dangerously redefines guardianship, strips away parental rights, and creates legal loopholes that make kidnapping children easy....
So what's your problem, parental units?
It gets FAR worse:
...Erin Friday, an attorney and president of Our Duty-USA, a parent-led advocacy group, called AB 495 “a child trafficker’s and kidnapper’s dream bill.”
“There is no background check, no welfare check, no court oversight, and no verification. All you need is a piece of paper and some form of identification, with no obligation for the adult handing the child over to verify the identification, and presto, someone walks away with your child,” she warned.
Friday also rejects Rodriguez’s claim that this bill is narrowly tailored to immigration emergencies. The bill’s language applies to any child for any reason, regardless of immigration status, and grants temporary legal rights to individuals with no blood relation, including people who may not even be known to the child’s parents. The stranger can consent to medical treatments for the child, and the bill absolves the doctors from any liability should the adult consenting not have any actual legal connection to the child....
IOW, some random "person" can 'consent' to the 'medical treatment' of abortion or sex-change......legally.
It's only in California--so far.
