CA AB 2319
Amended California Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act.

The California Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act (CA AB 2319), effective January 1, 2025, mandates expanded implicit bias training for healthcare providers to address intersecting identities and reduce disparities in perinatal care. By fostering culturally competent, equitable care, this legislation aims to improve maternal and infant health outcomes, particularly for historically marginalized communities. Compliance is enforced through annual reporting, with penalties for non-compliance

Requires implicit bias training to address intersecting identities and potential harms to patients and infants.

Training Deadlines

Existing providers: Complete training by June 1, 2025.

Broader Applicability

 Extends training to all staff interacting with perinatal patients or providing care in hospitals, clinics, birthing centers, and emergency departments.

Key Information

  • The existing Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth (DiPC) course, funded by CHCF and free for California providers, meets most but not all of the AB 2319 requirements. It is a pre-requisite for the supplement that is coming soon.
  • Humanitas Institute is developing a 15-minute eLearning supplement, the Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth Course Expansion (DiPC-Expansion). This addition will, in combination with the current Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth Course, meet the requirements of AB 2319.
  • The course will be available in March 2025.
  • Learners who completed the currently available Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth Course must also complete the DiPC-Expansion to meet the requirements of CA AB2319.
  • Learners who have ALREADY completed the currently available Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth course must only complete the DiPC-Expansion.
  • Learners who have NOT completed Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth must complete that course plus the DiPC-Expansion.
