What happened, for context

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2624, referred to by critics as the "Stop Nick Shirley Act," which protects the home addresses of workers and volunteers assisting immigrants from public disclosure and makes it illegal to post their personal information online. Nick Shirley, a YouTuber known for exposing fraud at taxpayer-funded daycare centers, argues the law will make it harder to uncover fraud in the state. The bill was sponsored by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, wife of California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
