Code Red: The Trojan Horse Parents Don't See Coming — How AB 495 Threatens Your Family’s Freedom
Share this @internewscast.com

The Family Preparedness Plan Act, crafted by Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez (D–San Fernando), extends California’s sanctuary policies while subtly undermining parental rights and discreetly increasing government influence within the homes of every California family.

Fundamentally, AB 495 mandates that any local body overseeing public education must aid parents and guardians in formulating a “Family Preparedness Plan.” This plan designates a reliable adult to care for a child if the parent or guardian becomes incapacitated due to detention, deportation, or other reasons.

The bill also prevents school officials and employees from seeking, gathering, or retaining information regarding the citizenship or immigration status of students or their family members, except when necessary due to state or federal law or required for administering government programs.

However, any information obtained must be kept confidential and cannot be shared with federal immigration authorities.

Typically, arrangements for a child’s care during a parent’s absence are handled privately within families or through the courts, not via direct government involvement.

AB 495 shifts this paradigm by institutionalizing government participation through “Family Preparedness Plans,” pushing local educational agencies to actively manage caregiving plans, thereby inserting government into decisions that should remain private family matters.

California parents should see AB 495 for what it is: a covert government encroachment on family authority masked as protection against legitimate federal immigration actions.
