California’s legislature is advancing SB 1387, which would amend state data-collection statutes to include Jewish ancestry as a distinct ethnicity category alongside existing racial and ethnic options. The measure passed the Senate 33-0 and cleared a key Assembly committee in mid-August 2026, positioning it for floor votes in both houses before year-end. Democratic majorities and endorsements from a broad coalition of Jewish organizations have produced minimal procedural delays, aligning with the 88.5 percent trader-implied probability that the bill will become law by December 31. No significant amendments or veto threats have emerged in recent committee reviews.
