2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 102 - VITAL RECORDS AND HEALTH STATISTICS|PART 1 - VITAL RECORDS|CHAPTER 6 - Death Registration|ARTICLE 5 - American Indians|Section 102900.

102900.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a)  Birth and death certificate-linking studies done by the department in 1974 and repeated in 1984, show unacceptably high rates of error in the completion of death certificate information recording ethnicity for American Indian infants. (b)  Official vital data on deaths for American Indians in the State of California indicate an implausible death rate equal to one-half of the United States rate for all races and one-quarter of the rate for American Indians in all states. (c)  Good demographic data on the American Indian people within the state does not exist and the data that does exist is fragmented and difficult to access and compile. (d)  The lack of accurate vital data on American Indians in California results in a significant loss of federal funds for the provision of health care and promotion services to American Indian people residing in 37 rural counties within the state. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 1996.)

(b)  This study shall enlist the fullest possible participation of the Indian community and specifically the Indian clinics currently providing health care services to rural Indians of the state. This project shall be administered in a manner that allows for input from, and consultation with, concerned tribes and tribal organizations and American Indian-controlled health care corporations. (c)  This study shall identify methods to improve the quality of official state data on Indian mortality and carry out activities to achieve that goal, including the provision of training and the development of educational materials for morticians and coroners operating within the state. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 1996.)

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 102 - VITAL RECORDS AND HEALTH STATISTICS|PART 1 - VITAL RECORDS|CHAPTER 6 - Death Registration|ARTICLE 5 - American Indians|Section 102910.

102910.  For the purpose of conducting the three-year study required pursuant to Section 102905, the department is hereby encouraged to contract with a federally recognized tribe or tribal organization or an American Indian-controlled health care corporation or research institution having a record of good standing with the Department of Managed Health Care and the Indian Health program within the department, and established competence in the area of records management.(Amended by Stats. 2000, Ch. 857, Sec. 50.

102915.  The study shall be conducted in three phases, as follows:(a)  Phase one of the study shall include research design and data acquisition, including funds for the purchase of data from tribal, federal, state, and county sources and the encoding of this data to a computer-readable form. (b)  Phase two of the study shall include a computerized matching of the American Indian-specific data with the officially known deaths within the state for a selected two-year period, and all necessary statistical analysis and validation of any findings. (c)  Phase three shall include the dissemination of the findings from the study, including efforts to improve the collection of vital event data on the American Indian population within the state.

102935.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) There is a lack of understanding about the relationship between risk of violent death, such as suicide or homicide, and an individual’s sexual orientation and gender identity. This is because, unlike veteran status or ethnicity, the sexual orientation and gender identity of deceased individuals are only captured in special circumstances. By training coroners and medical examiners how to gather mortality data with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity, researchers and policymakers can begin to learn who the most vulnerable in the LGBTQ community are, and allocate resources that will reduce the number of preventable deaths.(b) The State Department of Public Health maintains statewide vital statistics data, including records of births, deaths, and marriages. The department administers the state’s electronic death registration system. Sexual orientation and gender identity data is not currently collected in that information.(c) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature to create a pilot program under which coroners and medical examiners are trained to collect sexual orientation and gender identity data in all cases of violent death, in order to encourage a better understanding of disparities in the mortality rate in the LGBTQ community and to assist the development of policies to address those disparities at the county level.(Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 177, Sec. 1. (AB 1094) Effective January 1, 2022. Conditionally inoperative as prescribed in Section 102938. Repealed January 1 following the inoperative date.)

102936.  (a) The department shall establish a three-year pilot program in up to six counties that agree to participate, for the identification and collection by coroners and medical examiners of gender identity and sexual orientation in cases of violent death.(b) The department shall select at least one county from the northern, southern, and central regions of the state to participate in the pilot program and shall take into account representation of urban, rural, and suburban areas.(c) A participating county shall agree to receive training from a qualified public or private agency with expertise in identifying and collecting clinical data pertaining to sexual orientation and gender identity, including cultural competency, respect of confidentiality, and other best practices in the collection of that data. The department shall provide participating counties with a list of approved training entities.(Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 177, Sec. 1. (AB 1094) Effective January 1, 2022. Conditionally inoperative as prescribed in Section 102938. Repealed January 1 following the inoperative date.)

102937.  (a) The coroner or medical examiner shall begin data collection upon completion of the training. For each year of the pilot program, the data shall be aggregated, deidentified, and reported to the board of supervisors and the department. (b) For each year of the pilot program, the department shall include the data reported pursuant to this article in the California Violent Death Reporting System established pursuant to Section 131230.(Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 177, Sec. 1. (AB 1094) Effective January 1, 2022. Conditionally inoperative as prescribed in Section 102938. Repealed January 1 following the inoperative date.)

102938.  This article shall become inoperative on the date the State Public Health Officer certifies that the final year of data from the pilot program has been submitted to the California Violent Death Reporting System as required under subdivision (b) of Section 102937, and on the January 1 following that date is repealed.(Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 177, Sec. 1.
