Cal. FGC § 1955 — California Code / Code fgc / Division 2 / Chapter 13.5 / Section 1955
Section 1955
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) California’s climate is changing. Rising temperatures, increases in the frequency and severity of extreme events like drought and wildfire, changing ocean conditions, and shifts in precipitation patterns all pose threats to California’s wildlife. These changes are shifting the habitat ranges of many California species, requiring these species to migrate to different latitudes or altitudes to locate suitable habitat necessary to survive.

(b) Land use is also changing as the state’s population continues to grow. Habitat conversion and fragmentation forces many California species to migrate in search of replacement habitat, and it also risks continued survival of species by compromising genetic diversity, among other things.

(c) California wildlife is losing the ability to move and migrate as habitat conversion and built infrastructure disrupt species habitat and cut off migration corridors.

(d) Habitat connectivity and wildlife migratory corridors are essential to the continued survival of many California species. Their importance will only grow as California wildlife increasingly migrates in response to climate change and resulting shifts in habitat suitability.

(e) Habitat connectivity is also necessary to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, which put people and wildlife at risk of injury or death.

(f) The department has several existing programs that can be used to promote habitat connectivity. It is the intent of the Legislature to expand, or clarify, two of these programs, Chapter 7.9 (commencing with Section 1797) and Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 1850), to facilitate creation and issuance of mitigation credits for actions that improve wildlife connectivity.

Section 5326.6
Status: in_force

Psychosurgery, wherever administered, may be performed only if:

(a) The patient gives written informed consent to the psychosurgery.

(b) A responsible relative of the person’s choosing and with the person’s consent, and the guardian or conservator if there is one, has read the standard consent form as defined in Section 5326.4 and has been given by the treating physician the information required in Section 5326.2. Should the person desire not to inform a relative or should such chosen relative be unavailable this requirement is dispensed with.

(c) The attending physician gives adequate documentation entered in the patient’s treatment record of the reasons for the procedure, that all other appropriate treatment modalities have been exhausted and that this mode of treatment is definitely indicated and is the least drastic alternative available for the treatment of the patient at the time. Such statement in the treatment record shall be signed by the attending and treatment physician or physicians.

(d) Three physicians, one appointed by the facility and two appointed by the local mental health director, two of whom shall be either board-certified or eligible psychiatrists or board-certified or eligible neurosurgeons, have personally examined the patient and unanimously agree with the attending physicians’ determinations pursuant to subdivision (c) and agree that the patient has the capacity to give informed consent. Such agreement shall be documented in the patient’s treatment record and signed by each such physician.

Psychosurgery shall in no case be performed for at least 72 hours following the patient’s written consent. Under no circumstances shall psychosurgery be performed on a minor.

As used in this section and Sections 5326.4 and 5326.7 “responsible relative” includes the spouse, parent, adult child, or adult brother or sister of the person.

The giving of consent to any of the treatments covered by this chapter may not be construed as a waiver of the right to refuse treatment at a future time. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Such withdrawal of consent may be either oral or written and shall be given effect immediately.

Refusal of consent to undergo a psychosurgery shall be entered in the patient’s treatment record.
