History of Death with Dignity in California www.deathwithdignity.org History of Death with Dignity in California The success in California was not won overnight; it took 25 years of groundwork and perseverance to make it to October 5, 2015, when Governor Jerry Brown signed ABX2-15, End of Life Option Act, into law. PRE-1990 Prior to the 1990’s, a smattering of events presages the fight for a death with dignity statute in California. 1976 The Natural Death Act passes, protecting physicians from being sued for failing to treat incurable illnesses at the request of the patient. 1980 Derek Humphry establishes the Hemlock Society in Santa Monica, advocating legal change and distributing how-to-die information; the Society’s membership grows to 50,000 within a decade. 1983 Elizabeth Bouvia, a quadriplegic suffering from cerebral palsy, sues a California hospital to let her die of self-starvation while receiving comfort care; she loses and files an appeal. 1986 Americans Against Human Suffering is founded, launching a campaign for what would become the 1992 California Death with Dignity Act. 1987 California State Bar Conference passes a resolution to approve physician aid in dying, becoming the state’s first public body to approve physician-assisted dying. TWO DECADES OF ATTEMPTS 1992 Americans for Death with Dignity, formerly Americans Against Human Suffering, place the California Death with Dignity Act on the state ballot as Proposition 161. Modeled on bills introduced by Oregon Senator Frank Roberts the previous year but allowing for euthanasia by lethal injection, the Proposition falls short of passage by 46 to 54 percent. 1994 Advocates, including our predecessors, renew efforts in California after the passage of Oregon’s law. California Death with Dignity Education Center is founded as a national nonprofit organization working to promote a comprehensive, humane, responsive system of care for terminally ill patients. In the same year the California Bar once again approved aid-in-dying by an 85-percent majority and no active opposition. 1997 Encouraged by the reaffirmation of the Oregon law in 1997, California Assemblymember Dion Aroner introduces a death with dignity bill based on the Oregon model. It passes the Judiciary and Appropriations Committees, but it ultimately fails to reach a vote in the full Assembly. 2005 Assemblymembers Lloyd Levine and Patty Berg introduce AB 651, the California Compassionate Choices Act, modeled after Oregon’s law. AB 651 passes from the Senate Judiciary Committee but ultimately fails, as do a couple of later attempts. 2014 A young terminally ill Californian makes international news by announcing she wants the option to die with dignity, but has to leave her home state to do so. Brittany Maynard, together with her family, moves to Oregon where she becomes the symbol of the death with dignity movement. END OF LIFE OPTION ACT’S JOURNEY TO PASSAGE 2015 Partly in response to Maynard’s well-publicized story, California State Senators Bill Monning (D-Carmel) and Lois Wolk (D-Davis), along with Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), and a slew of co-sponsors, carry a bill through a very difficult legislative process. The Death with Dignity Political Fund provides strategic support for the effort. 2 • January 21 – The two Senators introduce SB 128, End of Life Option Act. • March 25 – Senate Health Committee approves the bill 6 to 2, with 1 abstention. • April 7 – Senate Judiciary Committee passes the bill 5 to 2. • May 28 – Senate Appropriations Committee passes the bill 5 to 2. • June 4 – California State Senate approves the bill 23 to 15. • California Senate hearing on End of Life Option ActThe hearing on SB 128, End of Life Option Act, in the California Senate Health Committee on March 25, 2015. • Summer – After the bill moves to the Assembly, the Catholic Church pressures a handful of Committee on Health members to balk. The bill sponsors pull SB 128 from the Assembly due to insufficient support and continue working on the bill. • August 17 – Assembly Members Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), Mark Stone (D-Monterey Bay), and several others introduce an amended version of SB 128, in an extraordinary legislative session dedicated to healthcare. • September 8 – California State Assembly approves ABX2-15 on a 42 to 33 vote. • September 11 – California State Senate approves the bill 23 to 14. • October 5 – California Governor Brown signs the End of Life Option Act into law. With the Governor’s signature, thirty-nine million Californians joined the residents of Oregon, Washington, and Vermont in having the option, should they be terminally ill with less than 6 months to live, to end their lives in a humane and dignified manner. One in six Americans, or 50 million people, now have the option of death with dignity. I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain. I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by the bill. And I wouldn’t deny the right to others. —CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN, ABX2-15 SIGNING STATEMENT 3 2016 • February 10 – We propose SB 1002, the End of Life Option Telephone Number, which would create a toll-free telephone line, operated by the California Department of Public Health, providing unbiased information to Californians about their rights and responsibilities under the new End of Life Option Act. • March 30 – SB 1002 passes out of the Senate Committee on Health 5 to 2, but then gets voted down in the Appropriations Committee. Instead, the California Department of Public Health features all pertinent information on its website. END OF LIFE OPTION ACT IN EFFECT AND UNDER ATTACK • June 9, 2016 – California End of Life Option Act goes into effect. The law is challenged in courts by a group of anti-choice physicians seeking to halt the Act’s implementation. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Ottolia denies their request for an injunction to stop the new law from taking effect but allows a portion of the suit to proceed, eventually setting a trial for September 28, 2018. 2017 • February 7 – California Assembly Member Reginald Byron Jones-Sawyer, Sr. (D-Los Angeles) files AB 282, updating the state’s Penal Code to say that actions undertaken under the End of Life Option Act are exempted from prosecution for aiding suicide. 2018 • January 9 – AB 282 passes unanimously in the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. • January 18 – AB 282 passes in the full Assembly on a 45 to 17 vote. • February 16 – California State Senator Morrell (R) files SB 1336, which would require the patient inform their physician of reasons, selected from a list of four, for requesting the medications, and the bill would also make changes to the annual report. • April 11 – SB 1336 is defeated in committee. • May 15 – AB 282 moves to the California State Senate, where passes in the Public Safety Committee 5 to 2; the bill remains active. And Judge Ottolia grants a motion of the law’s opponents, saying the California State Legislature violated the state constitution by passing the law during a special session limited to healthcare. • May 21 – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra appeals and requests a stay of the May 15 ruling. • May 23 – California 4th District Court of Appeal denies the AG’s request to stay the May 15 ruling. • May 25 – Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Ottolia overturns the End of Life Option Act in a formal, written ruling confirming the law is void and unconstitutional. • June 15 – California 4th Court of Appeal grants the AG’s motion to stay the Riverside County Superior Court ruling, overturns the End of Life Option Act, and vacates all scheduled lower court trials. The statute is again the law in the state of California, pending any future rulings. 4 • August 30 – The appellate court issued a tentative ruling overturning the lower court’s decision against the law based on the plaintiffs’ lack of standing. The law continues to be in effect. v092018 5.

Congressman Garamendi stated back in January, “This election is not just about me. It’s about building a powerful Democratic base to ensure we are a beacon of progress in this newly drawn district.” Since then, we have established over 26 community partnerships – understanding that our partnerships must be grounded upon personal relationships and ser- vice. With our foundation grounded upon the community, our 2nd goal was simple: to have the best-organized field operation, encompassing the best practices of social justice nonprofits, service programs and, of course, the Obama Campaign. However, the key to our success was moving beyond our campaign’s dependency for volunteers but in the development of grass- roots-field programs designed for targeted community groups.

  • State Issues
    Week of January 14, 2019 State Issues Legislative Analyst This week, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its overview of Governor Newsom’s budget proposal for FY Report on State 2019-20 that was presented last week, and saw a new leader selected to lead this non-partisan organization. The Budget Legislature appointed a new state Legislative Analyst to fill the role Mac Taylor has held for 10 years. They named Gabriel Petek to the post, who most recently worked for Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings San Francisco Office where he is currently the state’s primary credit analyst. He takes the reins on February 4. In addition to getting a new chief, the LAO released its overview of the Governor’s January budget highlighting that that state’s budget position continues to be strong. They also focus on the fact that the Governor’s proposed budget prioritizes the repayments of state debts and a great deal of one-time funding. Nearly half of the discretionary spending is earmarked to pay down state liabilities, including unfunded retirement liabilities and budget debts. Twenty-five (25) percent of the discretionary spending is for one time or temporary funding proposals, and 15 percent for discretionary reserves. The LAO applauds the Governor’s decision to focus on the repayment of state debts. The LAO points out one thing that many took note of – the Governor has outlined many priorities for budgetary spending. And at least some of the proposals are not fully fleshed out or reflected in the budget document. The LAO was not critical of this but pointed out that these un-finalized proposals give the Legislature the opportunity to weigh in with the Administration and have their say in its development.
