SACRAMENTO — Assemblymember Juan Alanis (R-Modesto) announced this week that three of his bills — Assembly bills 1880, 1902, and 2436 — are on their way to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk where they await his signature.
AB 1880 aims to protect young content creators from online exploitation.
“Protecting kids has been one of my top priorities, and this bill will ensure that child influencers are treated fairly and protected from exploitation,” said Alanis. “This measure will provide young content creators with the same security that child actors have had for decades, making sure their earnings are preserved and their rights respected.”
AB 1880 expands the Coogan Law to include child influencers involved in paid online content across platforms like social media, websites, and digital apps. The Coogan Law requires a portion of child performers' earnings to be placed in trust accounts for their future.
AB 1902 looks to ensure that patients who cannot read traditional, written English will be given accessible prescription medication labels.
“AB 1902 is a long-overdue bill that requires pharmacies to provide accessible labels on prescription medications to patients identifying as blind or having low vision,” said Alanis.
AB 2436, meanwhile, would protect California's cattle producers and support the operations of the California Bureau of Livestock Identification.
"Costs have increased due to inflation, the push for electric vehicles, and other economic changes," said Alanis. "AB 2436 will let the Bureau adjust its fees responsibly so they can continue protecting our livestock producers without causing extra financial stress."
