California lawmakers quietly gutted budget bill AB144 on the last day of session and slipped in sweeping changes to vaccine and parental rights. Amy Bohn of PERK explains how the law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom bypassed the legislative process, hands vaccine decision-making power to the California Department of Public Health, revives HPV recommendations, expands liability protections, and sidelines future ACIP and CDC recommendations.
AB144 began innocently as the “Budget Act of 2025,” introduced on January 8, 2025. But at the very last moment, it was gutted, amended, and passed in a matter of days — on September 12, 2025 — with no public comment, no hearings, and no transparency. It bypassed the democratic process entirely. Governor Newsom signed it into law today.
