California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, has signed a bill that aims to make it easier for people seeking abortions in Arizona to get care in the Golden state in response to restrictions imposed on the procedure in the south-western state.

Under the new law, doctors licensed to perform abortions in Arizona could provide abortion care for their patients in California. The legislation offers medical providers an expedited path to getting their credentials in California.
