AB 495 and AB 84:
Two critical bills that could significantly impact our children’s future.

AB 495 – Family Preparedness Plan Act of 2025
While this bill is presented as a compassionate solution for immigrant families facing separation, it raises serious concerns about parental rights and child safety.

What it does: Allows any adult to claim caregiver status for a child by signing a simple affidavit—no parental consent, no ID verification, no court review, and no background check.

Who qualifies: A neighbor, teacher, or family friend—even without a direct relationship to the child.

Why it’s dangerous: This opens the door for unvetted individuals to make medical, educational, and legal decisions for children, with zero safeguards in place.

Critics warn: It’s a legal loophole that could be exploited by traffickers or predators, undermining parental authority and child protection.

AB 84 – Charter School Restrictions
This bill threatens school choice and flexible learning models, especially for homeschoolers and families relying on charter schools.

What it does: Adds heavy bureaucratic burdens to charter schools, limits new school approvals, and allows districts to charge unlimited oversight fees.

Impact: Reduces funding for teachers and programs, restricts personalized education options, and centralizes control over education.

Why it matters: Families seeking alternatives to traditional public schools—especially post-pandemic—could lose access to vital resources and flexibility.
