Newsom signs bill allowing Arizona abortion doctors to work in California

[BumRushDaShow]

5. AZ did repeal the 1864 law but for that to go into effect, there will need to be a 90 day waiting period

that STARTS after the state legislature adjourns.

So since they haven't adjourned yet, that creates a longer gap period where abortions are still banned until that old law's repeal gets activated, which then allows their newer law passed in 2022, to take precedence again (that one allowed abortions but with a 15 week restriction).

Normally the state legislature adjourns in June (or July), and ASSUMING they DO adjourn (and there has been concern that they would spitefully not do so), then the latest that the newer law would be back in effect again, would be October 2024.

I expect the CA law probably has what amounts to a 6 month limitation to align with some other statutes requiring no more than that (maybe as some kind of "temporary health emergency" thing).
