A frequently vetoed bill that would require health insurance plans that cover prescription drugs to also cover contraceptives has made it out of the state Senate.
Supporters describe the proposal as a women's rights bill.
They're hoping that this time it will become law. The bill was approved by the Senate this morning on a 23 to 11 vote. It now moves to the state Assembly. Similar bills were vetoed three times by former Governor Wilson. Supporters say they're optimistic that Governor Davis will sign this year's legislation.
