California AB1400 establishes a pilot program for baccalaureate degrees in nursing at select community colleges.

California AB1400 creates a pilot program allowing up to 10 community college districts to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The chancellor’s office selects eligible districts based on criteria such as underserved nursing areas and persistent poverty. Priority is given to districts with nationally accredited nursing programs. The pilot program runs until January 1, 2035, and includes provisions for evaluating its effectiveness and cost. The Legislative Analyst’s Office conducts an evaluation to determine the program's continuation or expansion.
