Today, Governor Newsom signed my Senate Bill 73 into law, which takes effect immediately. The enactment of SB 73 protects Californians’ sacred right to vote free from fear of intimidation or interference and safeguards the essential integrity of elections in California. I want to thank Governor Gavin Newsom, Pro Tem Senator Monique Limón, Speaker Robert Rivas, and my Democratic colleagues in the Legislature for their partnership in meeting this moment with urgency and resolve.
