AB 2134: Information on access to reproductive healthcare for employees of religious employers
Despite countless offensive and degrading decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court diminishing access to safe and affordable reproductive healthcare over the last several years, California Democrats continue to take measures to secure access to abortion services and contraceptives for their constituents. Under AB 2134, if a religious employer’s healthcare coverage fails to provide employees with abortion and contraceptive coverage or benefits, the employer must provide its employees with written information regarding abortion and contraceptive services that may be available to them at no cost through the California Reproductive Health Equity Program. AB 2134 also requires the Department of Industrial Relations to post to its website information regarding abortion and contraception benefits available through the program.
