A group of doctors is suing California officials over a new state law that allows medical boards to punish physicians who offer what the boards deem to be “misinformation or disinformation” related to COVID-19.

The law, passed by Democrats in September and signed into law soon after by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, violates doctors’ constitutional rights to free speech and due process, according to the lawsuit.
