2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 9 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA › PART 57 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA › CHAPTER 6 - Miscellaneous Provisions › ARTICLE 6.4 - Animal Shelter Assistance Act › Section 92657.

92657. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) In 1998, the State of California enacted Senate Bill 1785 (Chapter 752 of the Statutes of 1998) to create new minimum standards for California animal shelters and establish the state’s policy that no adoptable or treatable animal should be euthanized.
(b) Since 1998, many California communities have made meaningful strides to reduce the deaths of homeless animals. Public and private sources have funded more low-cost programs for dog and cat spaying and neutering. Animal shelters have sought to modernize their facilities and practices to keep animals healthier during their time at the shelter. Public education campaigns have promoted the importance of adopting pets, and a growing number of private rescue groups have been formed, increasing the degree to which they assist shelters in finding new homes for animals.
(c) Although the number of deaths in California’s animal shelters fell from more than 500,000 in 1998 to an estimated 180,000 in 2018, the state’s longstanding policy goal has not yet been achieved in every community.
(d) The University of California houses the nation’s premier animal sheltering research, service, and teaching program. The shelter medicine program at the University of California, Davis promotes a welfare-centric, life-saving approach to the management of animals in shelters, focused on prevention and grounded in science. The program has been working with shelters across California since its inception, providing advice covering facility design, shelter management, animal husbandry, and myriad veterinary health issues that are unique to sheltering environments.
(e) With an intentional focus on and partnership with communities around California, the state will be well positioned to achieve the state’s policy goal that no adoptable or treatable animal should be euthanized.

92660. (a) In order to ensure that current and former homeless youth and current and former foster youth who are students at campuses of the University of California have stable housing, each campus of the University of California that maintains student housing facilities shall give priority to current and former homeless youth and current and former foster youth. In addition, each campus of the University of California that maintains student housing facilities open for occupation during school breaks, or on a year-round basis, shall first give priority to current and former homeless youth and current and former foster youth for residence in the housing facilities for which they are eligible that are open for uninterrupted year-round occupation and provide this housing to current and former homeless youth and current and former foster youth at no extra cost during academic or campus breaks, and next give priority to current or former homeless youth and current and former foster youth for residence in the housing facilities for which they are eligible that are open for occupation during the most days in the calendar year.
(b) In addition, a campus of the University of California is requested to develop a plan to ensure that current and former homeless youth and current and former foster youth can access housing resources as needed during and between academic terms, including during academic and campus breaks, regardless of whether the campus maintains student housing facilities.
(c) As used in this section, a “homeless youth” means a student under 25 years of age, who has been verified, in the case of a former homeless youth, at any time during the 24 months immediately preceding the receipt of his or her application for admission by a campus of the University of California, as a homeless child or youth, as defined in subsection (2) of Section 725 of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11434a(2)), by at least one of the following:
(1) A homeless services provider, as defined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) of Section 103577 of the Health and Safety Code.
(2) The director, or his or her designee, of a federal TRIO program or a Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs program.
(3) A financial aid administrator.
(d) For purposes of this section, a student who is verified as a former homeless youth pursuant to subdivision (c) shall retain that status for a period of six years from the date of admission.
(e) This section shall not apply to the University of California except to the extent that the Regents of the University of California, by appropriate resolution, make this section applicable.

92690. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) That California consumers enjoy the economic benefits of a substantial cooperative business sector. An estimated one million people participate in a diversity of consumer cooperatives that includes, but is not limited to, housing, child care, food, insurance and health care, student, rural electric, senior citizen, cable, and funeral cooperatives, as well as employee-owned arts and crafts cooperatives and other small business cooperatives. Credit unions, as financial cooperatives, provide services to over 6.2 million members.
In addition, over 40,000 California farmers belong to agricultural cooperatives which produce and market over six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000) of food and fiber products annually.
(b) That land grant universities of this nation, including the University of California, have a long tradition of providing research, educational, and extension programs of direct interest to cooperatives.
(c) That public understanding of the nature and role of cooperatives is minimal. In general, the public does not understand how the cooperative form of business structure is being utilized for their benefit.
(d) That public understanding about the benefits of the cooperative form of business could be greatly improved through a coordinated effort by the University of California and other institutions of higher education to focus on the role of cooperatives in the California economy.
(e) That in the fast changing world economic environment it is important to California that its cooperatives remain a dynamic sector within the state’s economy. In order to enhance this sector’s development the state is asked to support the establishment of a Center for Cooperatives.
(f) That the establishment of a Center for Cooperatives would help to meet the growing need for information, knowledge, and the professional skills necessary to increase the competitiveness of California’s cooperatives in the state, national, and world trade and economy.

2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 9 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA › PART 57 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA › CHAPTER 9 - Community-Based Health Professions Education Partnership Program › Section 92720.

92720. The Legislature hereby finds and declares, as follows:
(a) There is an inadequate supply of physicians, family nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who provide primary care to individuals and families in low-income urban and rural areas of California.
(b) Current training for health professionals, which occurs almost exclusively in clinics and hospitals, rarely provides students with opportunities to provide community-based medical care to families in low-income neighborhoods. As a result, relatively few health professionals choose to practice in low-income neighborhoods after completion of their training.
(c) Most medical graduates are unprepared to deal with the complex interwoven social, cultural, economic, environmental, and educational aspects of disease prevention and health promotion. As a result, health professionals frequently have limited impact on the prevention or treatment of entrenched community health problems, including teen pregnancy, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
(d) Community-based education for health professionals has proven successful in other states, including Washington and Kentucky, in doing all of the following:
(1) Increasing the number of primary care health professionals practicing in low-income areas.
(2) Promoting the use of multi-disciplinary teams composed of health and human services professionals to jointly address community health problems.
(e) It is in the state’s best interest that California medical schools be encouraged to develop coursework and practice for community-based education as a part of professional training for physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. It is further in the state’s best interest that community-based education programs be evaluated to determine their effects on increasing the number of health care professionals practicing in low-income, medically underserved communities.

2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 9 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA › PART 57 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA › CHAPTER 9 - Community-Based Health Professions Education Partnership Program › Section 92721.

92721. (a) There is hereby established the Community-Based Health Professions Education Partnership Program to be administered by the University of California.
(b) The purpose of the program shall be to encourage the development of undergraduate medical and other health professional clerkships in primary care that combine health education, human services, and community involvement. The Legislature’s goal, through these clerkships, is to increase the number of medical students who choose to enter residencies in primary care and to increase the number of health professionals who practice in primary care in low-income communities and medically underserved areas after their training programs are completed.

92722. The university is requested to incorporate the following into the program:
(a) A primary care clerkship as part of the undergraduate curriculum.
(b) Opportunities for nurse practitioners and physician assistants that combine clinical experience with participation in multidisciplinary teams that include other health, education, and human services professionals charged with identifying and addressing community health problems.
(c) Opportunities for students to be exposed to a comprehensive array of primary care health services—curative and preventive medicine, health promotion, and rehabilitation.
(d) Opportunities that allow participants to serve as members of a multiservice health and human resource committee, or a comparable arrangement, that includes members from other public and private human services and educational agencies, for the purpose of offering integrated, comprehensive health, education, and human services to children and their families living in the community.
(e) Opportunities that place students in community or neighborhood primary care clinics in low-income communities, as determined by the university, or medically underserved areas, as determined by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, and that have a working relationship with an advisory board that is made up of representatives from the community being served.
(f) Community involvement in the design and operation of the clerkship program, based on the identification of community needs and resources.
(g) Culturally appropriate program governance, staff, and services.

(a) The percentage of medical student participants in the program who do either, or both, of the following:
(1) Choose residencies in primary care.
(2) After residency, practice in primary care.
(b) The utilization of primary care medical facilities included in the program.
(c) The historical utilization of emergency room facilities in neighborhoods served by the program one year prior to and one year after the implementation of the program.
(d) The cost of providing health services to families served by the program.
(e) The effectiveness of clinical and multidisciplinary training as components of professional education for physicians and surgeons, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

92725. (a) The program shall be considered successful if, after implementation of the program, all of the following occur:
(1) There is a 10 percent or greater increase in the rate of program graduates who choose to practice primary care over the average number of program graduates who chose to practice primary care during the previous five years.
(2) There is a decrease in the use of emergency room facilities for nonemergency procedures by persons served by the program from the use of emergency room facilities for nonemergency procedures during the previous five years.
(3) Families served by the program have received expanded health services without an increase in per capita health costs.
(b) Based on the evaluation of the program by the university pursuant to Section 92724, the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, in consultation with the California Healthcare Workforce Policy Commission, shall recommend to the Legislature on or before January 1, 1998, whether funding for the program should be expanded to include other medical schools.
(c) If the recommendation is made to expand the program pursuant to subdivision (b), it is the intent of the Legislature that the program be expanded to allow private medical schools and private schools of nursing to participate in the program in order to permit substantially all students who are training to become physicians and surgeons, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants to receive a portion of their training in a community-based education program.
