A bill was signed into law by Gov Jerry Brown which states that girls from California as young as 12 without parental consent can receive the human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine without the consent of their parents. Next year in January the law will get implemented.

As a part of widening investigations of the industry, California Attorney General Jerry Brown subpoenaed records related to finances and other documents from the state's seven largest health insurance companies on Thursday.

According to Brown, there were reports of illegal practices taking place among state health insurers. It was a major concern that premiums were being raised unjustly and payment of legitimate claims was being denied.
