A new bill introduced in California’s state senate requires nursing homes and similar long-term care facilities to implement transgender bathroom policies.
The bill makes it unlawful to require transgender residents to use the biologically correct bathroom, and prohibits nursing home employees from calling residents anything other than their chosen name and pronoun.
Additionally, nursing homes that assign rooms based on gender will be prohibited from assigning rooms based on biological sex, if the bill passes.
State senator Scott Wiener introduced last week the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Long-Term Care Facility Resident’s Bill of Rights, which he says is needed to protect LGBT seniors from discrimination.

So glad CA does not have any real problems to address.
That's about what you would expect in the land of fruits and nuts.
The bill will probably pass with flying colors.
Their government is broken....
