AB 1854: Legally protected health care activities.

The bill aims to protect healthcare professionals and organizations from out-of-state law enforcement and judicial interference. It prohibits California law enforcement and agencies from participating in the arrest of individuals performing or supporting healthcare activities that are lawful in California, even if those activities occur out of state. The bill also prevents California entities from complying with out-of-state subpoenas, warrants, or investigations related to healthcare activities unless certain conditions are met. If a California entity complies with an out-of-state inquiry, it may face a $10,000 fine for the first violation and $15,000 for subsequent violations. The bill authorizes the attorney general to enforce these provisions and allows for civil actions to be taken against entities that comply with out-of-state inquiries in violation of the law.
