Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) announced that she has reintroduced “Brandon’s Law” (Senate Bill 434) to prohibit an operator of rehabilitation treatment facilities from providing any form of false advertising or marketing services. The new bipartisan bill is identical to last year’s Senate Bill 863, which Sen. Bates placed on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is similar to Senate Bill 589 that Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed in 2019.
