Introduced by Senator Hurtado

February 19, 2021

An act to add Section 89012 to the Education Code, relating to postsecondary education, and making an appropriation therefor.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 747, as introduced, Hurtado. Central Valley Medical School Endowment Fund.

Existing law, the Donahoe Higher Education Act, sets forth the missions and functions of California’s public and independent segments of higher education. The act provides that the University of California has exclusive jurisdiction in public higher education to award the doctoral degree in all fields of learning, except that it may agree with the California State University to award joint doctoral degrees in selected fields. With respect to doctoral degrees, the act limits the California State University to awarding these degrees jointly with the University of California, as described above, or, with approval by the California Postsecondary Education Commission, jointly with independent institutions of higher education.

This bill would create the Central Valley Medical School Endowment Fund, to be administered by the California State University Foundation. The bill would require that moneys received from public and private sources to be used for the purpose of supporting the establishment of a medical school in the central valley region be deposited into that fund and would continuously appropriate moneys in the Central Valley Medical School Endowment Fund to the California State University, as specified.
