New Law Addresses Maternity Care!
Yesterday, Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 222 into law. According to an article by Victoria Colliver of the San Francisco Chronicle, it was one of multiple laws he signed that day that address the health of pregnant women, new mothers, and their babies. One of them ensures that when women with employer-sponsored insurance take maternity leave, they don’t lose their coverage. Another one requires hospitals to create an infant feeding policy, thereby encouraging new mothers to breastfeed.
