University of California: UC Riverside Medical School.

Existing provisions of the California Constitution establish the University of California as a public trust under the administration of the Regents of the University of California. The University of California (UC) system includes 10 campuses, which are respectively located in Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. This bill would express findings and declarations of the Legislature relating to, among other things, the role of the UC Riverside Medical School in supporting California's health care infrastructure. The bill would, from any amount paid to the State of California as a result of an investigation into possible overpayments of state funds to the Senior Care Action Network (SCAN) Health Plan and available for expenditure for the purposes of the bill, as the highest priority for the use of these funds, transfer $15,000,000 to the Regents of the University of California for allocation to the School of Medicine at the University of California, Riverside, thereby making an appropriation. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
