California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have directed the state education board to approve new teaching for health classes in elementary and middle schools.
The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (D-Encinitas), sought to compel the State Board of Education to finalize health education resources by mid-2028. These materials were to follow the guidelines set in a 2019 statewide plan for health instruction.
