Keep the Pressure Up! Time for another Veto!

ACT NOW: Stop AB144

Dear PERK Members,

We are sounding the alarm on AB144, a bill quietly rushed through the California legislature in secret. This law is a direct attack on medical freedom, parental rights, and due process — and it sets a dangerous precedent that could spread beyond California. What happens here often signals what is to come nationwide.

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 and now sits on Governor Newsom’s desk. He has until October 12th to sign it into law.

We must act quickly and urge the Governor to VETO AB144. This bill:

Centralizes vaccine authority by giving the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) so much power related to immunizations, bypassing the legislature.
Adds language about the HPV vaccine related to the school schedule for 8th grade and recommendation of the HPV shot for college students. They added additional language to the mandated notification. The section on the HPV vaccine references Section 120164 (a newly created Health Code Section that gives CDPH the power to modify or supplement existing recommendations).
Rejects CDC and ACIP standards, freezing recommendations as of January 1, 2025 and disregarding future updates.
Expands liability protections beginning January 1, 2030, shielding anyone administering state-required vaccines to minors from accountability or liability for injury or harm caused.
Alters insurance and welfare laws without public input.

This bill strips parents and the public of their voice and hands unchecked power to the unelected body of the California Department of Public Health.
