My bill, AB 2136, passed the Assembly's Public Safety Committee on a unanimous vote. Knowing if a drug or medication is tainted or mislabeled is paramount in avoiding an overdose & death. AB 2136 has the potential to save lives. Read more here: bit.ly/3WjYflf @latimes

Testified in Public Safety Committee yesterday in support of AB-2136. It passed to appropriations. The bill would protect both providers and participants in drug checking. Important step for scaling up drug checking as a harm reduction and public health strategy.

My (one year old) kid's daycare has an app to communicate school news w/ parents. Great! But it's clear they also use it for marketing, so I'm getting very persistent emails recommending tutoring to boost my child's grades. 🤣🙃
