California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday signed Assembly Bill 1955, the bill to prohibit school districts from requiring staff to notify parents if a child requests to be addressed by a different name or pronouns or to access a bathroom or school activities for a sex other than what appears on their birth certificate.

The signature came as tensions over the subject have reached an all-time high.
