Muslims Religious Freedom and Circumcision

The bill, by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake), was drafted in response to a proposed San Francisco ballot measure that would have prohibited any foreskin cutting that was not deemed medically necessary in that city.

A similar measure was proposed in Santa Monica but was later pulled back by proponents.
