The California State Senate unanimously passed SB 1138, a bill to require vegan options in prisons and other public institutions with licensed healthcare facilities.

With the support of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Social Compassion in Legislation, democratic senator Nancy Skinner, who represents California’s ninth district, authored SB 1138. According to the legislation, hospitals, nursing facilities, and prisons would have to provide vegan meals to people who request them because of food allergies or religious or ethical beliefs.
