Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law establishes the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law authorizes the university to establish Doctor of Nursing Practice degree programs that offer Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees, subject to specified program and enrollment requirements. This bill would require the university to establish Doctor of Medicine degree programs, as provided, with the goal of addressing access to medical care in underserved, disadvantaged areas. The bill would appropriate $15,000 from the General Fund to the trustees for the implementation and administration of these provisions. The bill would require the trustees, on or before January 1, 2023, to submit a report to the Legislature on its implementation and administration of these provisions.
