Effective July 1: California Enacts New Laws on IVF, Student Suicide Hotline IDs and Drink-Spiking Prevention

By Manny Sandoval

F

rom fertility care and mental health access to consumer safety and housing reform, a slate of new California laws took effect Tuesday, July 1, reshaping health care coverage, business accountability, and public safety for millions of residents.

IVF insurance coverage expanded (SB 729) Most health insurance plans regulated by the state—including large-group employer plans—must now cover infertility treatment, including in vitro fertilization. The law also expands eligibility to LGBTQ+ individuals and single parents. Prior to this law, many families were forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. The legislation aims to reduce those financial barriers and increase equity in family planning.

Gov. Gavin Newsom previously called the bill “a proud reproductive-freedom step that helps every Californian make their own choices about the family they want.”

Unlimited drink wristbands are available for $60.

resources added to student IDs (SB 1063) All California middle and high schools are now required to include the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline number on student ID cards. Some districts are also opting to add QR codes that link directly to local mental health resources, youth counseling services, or the school’s wellness center page.

Supporters of the law say that making crisis resources more visible to students could be a life-saving measure as youth mental health struggles continue to rise. Schools were already required to include such information for grades 7– 12; this law expands it to all middle school grades statewide.

Drink safety protections at bars (AB 2375) All bars with a Type 48 license—which allows the sale of beer, wine, and spirits without food—are now required to provide drink lids upon request. This includes approximately 2,400 establishments statewide. The goal is to prevent drink spiking and sexual assault.

New Laws (cont.)

Holiday Safety: Fireworks and Pet Precautions As celebrations ramp up, Cal Fire officials urge residents to prioritize safety, especially if using legal “Safe and Sane” fireworks.

CARE Court notifications expanded (SB 42) The Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act established new pathways for families and counties to seek mental health treatment for individuals with severe mental illness. Effective July 1, courts are now required to send automatic updates to the original petitioners—such as family members, social workers, or caregivers—on the progress of the case, including whether the person has accepted treatment.

“Since 2024, fireworks have caused over $35 million in property damage across California, sparking 1,230 fires,” said Chief Daniel Berlant, California State Fire Marshal. “It is your responsibility to prevent fires and injuries. Don’t let your Fourth of July celebration end in flames.”

If fireworks are permitted in your city, always follow local ordinances and these essential precautions: Use only State Fire Marshalapproved fireworks Keep a water hose and bucket nearby Light fireworks away from dry grass or brush Soak used fireworks in water before disposal More fire safety tips at readyforwildfire.org.

Pet owners should also take extra care. The Fourth of July is the number one day of the year for pets to go missing, according to the San Manuel Animal Resource Team. Loud fireworks can frighten pets, causing them to flee or become injured.

To protect your furry family members: Keep pets indoors during firework events Ensure microchip and ID tags are up to date Avoid feeding pets BBQ food or alcohol Use calming music or white noise to ease stress Know your nearest shelter’s contact info If you find a lost pet, check the immediate area—it’s likely the animal lives nearby.

Whether you're heading to a park, ballfield, or lakeside perch, the Inland Empire has no shortage of ways to celebrate Independence Day 2025. Just plan ahead, stay safe, and don’t forget to protect your furry friends.

- While some venues already offered lids voluntarily, this law standardizes access across California. Bars may charge a reasonable fee for the lids, and patrons must be made aware that lids are available if requested.

Pet insurance transparency (SB 1217) Pet insurance providers must now disclose exactly why premiums are increasing and list any exclusions, waiting periods, and coverage limitations in plain language. The law is meant to protect pet owners from being misled or blindsided by high veterinary bills that aren’t reimbursed.

Hands-free phone use while driving A recent court interpretation clarified that drivers may not hold their phones at all—even when stopped at a red light. The hands-free law, originally enacted in 2017, is now being enforced more strictly, with first-time violations starting at $20, though court fees can push the cost significantly higher.

Online retail theft enforcement (SB 1144) Online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay and Facebook Marketplace must now track high-volume sellers and report any suspected stolen goods being sold to California consumers. The law is part of a broader statewide effort to reduce organized retail crime.

Short-term rental platforms must disclose fees (AB 2202) Airbnb and other platforms are now required to

display all mandatory fees—including cleaning, service, and occupancy fees—upfront before checkout. The goal is to prevent misleading base prices and improve transparency for consumers booking short-term stays.

Violations could lead to civil penalties up to $10,000 per incident, enforceable by the California Attorney General or local district attorneys.

Polystyrene food container ban now in full effect (SB 54) Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) foodware— including foam cups, plates, clamshell containers and trays—is now banned statewide. The ban was triggered after manufacturers failed to meet a 25 percent recycling rate threshold set by earlier legislation. Cities and counties across California will now begin enforcing the ban through local ordinances.

Streamlined housing and infrastructure approvals (AB 130/SB 131) Nine new exemptions to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) are now in effect, designed to speed up construction of housing, infrastructure, wildfire mitigation, and childcare facilities. The changes are part of the state’s broader efforts to combat the housing crisis and reduce bureaucratic delays.

“These changes are long overdue,” said Gov. Newsom. “We’ve struggled for decades to reform our housing rules, and this is a big step forward.”

Local minimum wage hikes While the state minimum wage remains $16.50 per hour, numerous cities and counties enacted local increases effective July 1. San Francisco and Berkeley now require $19.18 per hour, and Sonoma County has the highest wage at $23.15 per hour.

Other cities with increases include Los Angeles, Emeryville, Pasadena, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood.

Broken Promises: How Trump’s Policies Stripped Immigrants of Their Rights

Homicide Investigation in Rialto

By Bianca Zamora, Arroyo Valley High School Student

E

veryone has opinions on the government we now live under. Ever since Trump took office, things have changed. Whether people believe those changes are for better or worse is up to each person to decide. However, one thing that’s hard to ignore is how immigrants are treated. They’re being dismissed and stripped of their rights.

Policies from the Trump administration have made it harder for immigrants to build their lives here, often without considering their backgrounds or contributions. Many immigrants are labeled as “aliens” or seen as threats, even when they are innocent.

This issue in our society and government isn’t just political—it’s also social and deeply affects families. The idea of pushing immigrants out has led to serious consequences, including families being torn apart. This applies both to families already in the United States and to those trying to enter.

For example, many innocent immigrants from Venezuela are being accused of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang for minor reasons. Some are sent to maximum-security prisons in El Salvador and denied contact with family. NBC News states, “Relatives of recently deported Venezuelan immigrants said they were anguished and shocked to discover their loved ones were sent to a notorious megaprison in El Salvador after they recognized them in a social media video.” This situation shows how people are being punished and isolated for something they didn’t do, simply because of where they’re from. It’s unfair and heartbreaking.

For immigrants entering the U.S., many parents are separated from their children.

Their children are placed in different detention areas, often due to overcrowding.

These children are housed in cold facilities with no emotional or physical support. In

some cases, they’re kept in these centers for weeks or even months, unsure of when they’ll see their families again. Parents struggle, not knowing where their children are or whether they’re safe.

They come for a better life, only to face worse conditions. During the first 100 days of Trump’s administration, many significant changes were made regarding immigration. These included efforts to end birthright citizenship, halt asylum processes, and cancel immigrants’ scheduled appointments. His time in office may not have been the start of all these difficult situations, but it did make them worse.

This issue matters to me because I come from an immigrant family. Knowing these things could happen to my loved ones terrifies me. I’ve seen firsthand how these policies affect fellow immigrants. They feel restricted and isolated, diminished both physically and mentally, and, most importantly, they live in fear.

They came here hoping for a better life but ended up living the opposite. Seeing this happen fills me with many emotions, especially anger and helplessness. I’m angered because immigrants are treated as if they don’t matter; it’s as if we are once again in a social hierarchy—a modern one.

Immigrants perform labor that other Americans choose not to, yet they are neither rewarded nor recognized for their hard work. Their sacrifice goes unseen.

Above all, I feel helpless, because sometimes the only thing I can do is speak up, and that will only make a minor difference. One person alone can’t create instant change, so I remain angry and helpless.

Overall, immigrants are being maltreated in this country. It may not have started under Donald Trump, but it did worsen when he took office. So the question is: are immigrants allowed to be free in the land of freedom?

Tips To Consider To Help You Stay Healthy During Summer Travel

By Dr. Amit Arwindekar, Medical Director at UnitedHealthcare Global

A

s the weather gets warmer and the end of the school year approaches, many California residents may be planning a vacation. While some prefer a staycation, 86% of Americans plan to travel out of state and 50% plan to travel internationally.

Everyone hopes their trip will go smoothly, but more than 1 in 4 Americans report getting sick or hurt on a vacation and 56% needed medical treatment as a result. To help you prioritize a healthy and safe trip, consider these tips: Check-in with your primary care doctor before traveling. Schedule an appointment with your doctor prior to your vacation. At your visit, inform your doctor of your travel plans to see how best to support your health while traveling, including getting any recommended or required vaccinations. Before leaving, refill any prescriptions you might need while away and pack enough to last your entire trip.

Check travel health information and recent travel notices for destinations abroad so you know what to expect when you arrive.

If you haven’t had an annual wellness exam and preventive screenings recently, this may be a good time to make sure you are on top of any health concerns. Health

plans usually cover preventive care, which means you may pay $0 out of pocket for certain covered preventive services if you go to a network provider.

You may also consider options like virtual visits for non-emergency care. Virtual visits may be both cost-effective and more convenient. Talk to your health plan and doctor about virtual care options that might be available to you while traveling.

Virtual care may help you quickly and affordably access needed care with a network provider while on the road.

Pack properly and make sure you have enough essentials. Prior to leaving home, check the weather at your destination and pack accordingly. Prepare a travel health kit with essentials like hand sanitizer, over-the-counter medications, sunscreen and bug spray. Remember to pack important items like prescription medications in your carry-on luggage in the event of an emergency, or if your checked bags get lost during travel.

Take care of your health during your vacation. Physical activity may help reduce stress and promote well-being. Plan to incorporate some form of activity during your vacation, such as sightseeing walks, bike rides or daytime hikes.

Outdated California Law Forces 5,000 Nursing Students to Leave State for Clinical Rotations Amid Shortage

By Manny Sandoval

A

s California faces one of the nation’s most severe nursing shortages, more than 5,000 distancelearning nursing students are being forced to leave the state each semester for required clinical training—a financial and logistical hurdle critics say worsens the crisis.

“Over the last 10 years, California schools have turned away 250,000 qualified applicants,” said Blake Halladay, director of regulatory and legislative strategy affairs at Nightingale College. “Limited enrollments are driven by regulation and keep qualified people from going to nursing school.”

Nightingale College, a Utahbased accredited program, enrolls more than 5,000 California residents in its distance program—accounting for roughly 25 percent of all nursing students in the state. Yet current California law blocks these students from completing required in-person clinicals in their own communities.

“California law has never allowed for out-of-state programs to participate in clinical experience in the state,” Halladay said. “The Nurse Practice Act was put into place in 1939, long before distance education existed—they just haven't updated it.”

Assembly Bill 1082, introduced earlier this year, would lift that restriction and allow qualified programs like Nightingale to place students in local hospitals under the supervision of licensed California nurses.

The bill received unanimous support in committee but was shelved in the Assembly Appropriations Committee due to this year’s budget shortfall.

Students across the state have echoed her concerns in online forums, citing stress over the cost and time away from their families and jobs. Halladay added, “Many of our learners are non-traditional. Figuring out how to take time off work and leave their families for a week or a month at a time—it’s a burden they shouldn’t have to face.”

Before this pilot program, trichomoniasis testing was only offered to symptomatic patients.

That changed when improved lab capabilities enabled clinicians to screen for the parasite via urine and vaginal swabs alongside other standard tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia. The shift removed the need for patients to ask for STI testing, a barrier that can deter many from getting tested.

“Opt-out testing means when someone comes in for lets say a urine test during their pregnancy—we ask if we can send it for routine STI testing.” explained Poulin. “They’re free to say no. That’s the opt-out piece. It takes the burden off the patient and increases the rate of testing and treatment.”

The Board of Registered Nursing opposes AB 1082, citing clinical site crowding and oversight concerns. However, supporters argue the current law is outdated and out of step with PPOSBC’s opt-out strategy has proven particmodern education models—es- ularly effective in reaching underserved commupecially given the scale of the nities.

reflect persistent disparities in the Inland Empire, and that’s why we see these pilot efforts as essential—not just medically, but socially.”

According to the California Department of Public Health, STIs like trichomoniasis, syphilis, and gonorrhea are on the rise statewide. Yet routine screening remains inconsistent due to stigma, time constraints, or the siloed nature of healthcare systems.

“I think the challenge of scaling this across California is that health systems operate in silos more than people realize,” Poulin said. “We should all be routinely offering STI testing. It should be part of the conversation in every healthcare setting—not just urgent care or public health clinics.”

At PPOSBC, the approach is designed with convenience and dignity in mind. Clinics are open seven days a week for 10 hours a day, offer walk-in and same-day appointments, and perform all sample collections on-site—including rapid HIV tests, syphilis blood draws, and urinebased STI screenings.

“The message I’d like to send is that, especially at Planned Parenthood, it’s easy to come in and get testing,” said Poulin. “There is no stigma that comes with it. Most things are treatable or curable—and the fear of the unknown can be scary, but we hope they find it to be an easy experience.”

Nicole Ramirez, PPOSBC’s senior vice president of communications, added that the clinics’ responsiveness and compassionate care are helping build trust where it's needed most.

“Our health centers are averaging 11-minute wait times,” Ramirez said. “What you see in our Yelp reviews is people talking about passionate care—about being taken seriously and not judged. That’s incredibly important in underserved communities.”

PPOSBC operates nine health centers in the region, including Inland Empire locations at 1873 Commercenter West in San Bernardino, 15403 Park Avenue East in Victorville, and 918 West Foothill Blvd., Suite A, in Upland.

The 3rd cohort to complete this program, the selected non-profits encompass a variety of service providers from Diaper Bank of the Inland Empire to Feed My Flock Ministries to Highlanders Boxing Club, each aimed at addressing a specific need within the community. Designed to assist smaller non-profits operating with an annual budget of $500,000 or less, participants have access to both one-on-one consulting and group workshops.

he IEHP Foundation celebrated 25 non-profits from the Inland Empire during their Small Nonprofit Capacity Building Grant Graduation held on June 23 at their offices in Rancho Cucamonga. The graduates each received a $5,000 grant after successfully completing the 10-week training program intended to strengthen their business operations and non-profit management skills.

Led by the Caravanserai Project, an organization dedicated to providing entrepreneurs in underserved communities with the resources necessary to thrive, participants gained knowledge in areas including financial management and board development. Program leaders cited the hands-on, ears-to-the ground approach with partners as key elements of the program’s success. In the words of Linzey Ledesma, CBO Representative for IEHP, initiatives such as the Small Nonprofit Capacity Building Grant program strengthen IEHP’s efforts to “bridge the

By providing programs and training that may be otherwise inaccessible, the Capacity Building Grant provides the necessary resources and tools for graduating participants to expand their reach and services in the Inland Empire. As IEHP Foundation CEO Greg Bradbard said, “Most (participants) didn’t start with a Bachelor’s degree in non-profit management, but with a big heart and caring about our community.”

Ultimately, the IEHP Foundation and Caravanserai aim to improve the overall health and well-being of families

in the Inland Empire by empowering graduates of the program through these endeavors. In addition to general business education, graduates acknowledged their appreciation for the unique guidance specific to non-profits, along with the personal connection. Graduate Mike Story, Executive Director of Sunrise Life Development shared that was treated like family, not just like a student in a business program.

This sentiment was echoed throughout the graduation ceremony as past Graduate Amber Royer, President & CEO of Out of Ashes Organization, shared her inspiring story of perseverance and strength. Royer founded the non-profit Out of Ashes to increase Fentanyl awareness and prevention after losing her son, Richard, to a counterfeit pill laced with Fentanyl.

Miami Dolphins Linebacker and Redlands Native Jaelan Phillips Inspires Young Patients at LLUCH Community News

M

iami Dolphins linebacker and Jaelan native Redlands Phillips visited Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) on Tuesday, June 25, bringing smiles, encouragement and support to young patients facing serious medical challenges.

Jaelan, who grew up in Redlands and graduated from Redlands East Valley High School, toured multiple units at the hospital, including the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where he reunited with his grandmother, Raylene Phillips, MD, a pediatrician and neonatologist at LLUCH. Throughout the day, Jaelan visited children undergoing cancer treatment, awaiting heart transplants, and managing chronic illnesses. He handed out stuffed animals and toys, spending quality time offering motivation and taking photos with patients and their families.

“The kids have been incredible,” Jaelan said. “Being here and seeing the smiles on their faces, it’s one of the most special

things in the world that I can do. It’s been a blessing to be here.”

The visit concluded with a meet-andgreet event where he signed autographs, shared stories, and listened to patients’ experiences.

“I’m thankful for having this moment,” said Derek Martinez, a patient at LLUCH. “Jaelan is an idol of mine, and it’s bringing great spirits, especially being in the hospital the last few days.”

The NFL linebacker, who has previously participated in LLUCH’s Story Tellers video series, remains an active supporter of the Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild. He plans to return for future events and community visits.

The visit comes just weeks after Jaelan hosted more than 400 local children at his annual Jaelan Phillips Football Camp at Redlands East Valley High School, part of his ongoing mission to empower youth and give back to the communities that shaped him.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): HENRY CALDERILLA, A WIDOWER Recorded: 3/2/2022 as Instrument No. 2022-0081557 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN BERNARDINO County, California; Date of Sale: 8/5/2025 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the North West Entrance in the Courtyard of the Chino Municipal Court, located at 13260 Central Avenue, Chino, CA 91710 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $461,845.35 The purported property address is: 1844 ALSTON AVE, COLTON, CA 92324 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0160-371-20-0-000 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pur-

suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-25-1006797-AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 619-645-7711, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-25-1006797-AB to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNEROCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee's sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee's sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee's sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE POSTSALE OVER BIDDERS: For post-sale information in accordance with Section 2924m(e) of the California Civil Code, use file number CA-25-1006797-AB and call (866) 645-7711 or login to: http://www.qualityloan.com.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
