Bill overview
Assembly Bill 1120 aims to strengthen the rights of foster youth in California by requiring the Department of Social Services to provide educational resources to foster parents and others regarding grooming and hygiene products that respect a child’s culture, ethnicity, and gender identity. The bill also expands existing rights related to healthcare, education, privacy, and legal representation, with a particular focus on ensuring culturally competent care and affirming a child’s gender identity. It seeks to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for foster youth navigating the child welfare system.
