California will become the first state in the nation to require public universities to provide access to abortion pills on campus under a bill signed by Gov.

Senate Bill 24 by state Sen. Connie Leyva will go into effect in 2023, with the University of California and California State University systems required to offer students medical abortions. A medical abortion is a nonsurgical way to terminate a pregnancy that involves taking two prescription pills hours apart during a woman’s first 10 weeks of pregnancy to induce a miscarriage.

Supporters of the bill said students, particularly those without cars, have a difficult time getting to off-campus health facilities or paying for the cost of the medication.

After Brown’s veto, Newsom — then the state’s lieutenant governor and in the midst of his gubernatorial campaign —The bill requires the use of $10.3 million that has been raised from private donors to pay for operating costs.
