California AB58 requests a report on the financial requirements for establishing an independent medical school at the University of California.

California AB58 asks the University of California to submit a report by August 31, 2026, detailing the financial needs to expand the existing collaboration between the University of California, San Francisco and the University of California, Merced into a fully independent medical school. The report should include projected costs for hiring faculty and staff, capital investments, medical equipment, and transitional expenses. The bill aims to address the medically underserved population in the San Joaquin Valley, which has historically low ratios of healthcare professionals per resident.
