Summary

Existing law requires the State Public Health Officer to establish a statewide system for the collection of information determining the incidence of cancer, as specified. Existing law authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to assist every veteran of the United States and the dependent or survivor of every veteran of the United States in presenting and pursuing a claim as the veteran, dependent, or survivor may have against the United States arising out of war service, and in establishing the veteran's, dependent's, or survivor's right to any privilege, preference, care, or compensation provided by the laws of the United States or of this state. This bill would require the State Department of Public Health to establish a statewide system for the collection of information about veterans who have or have had a presumptive illness relating to qualifying military service, as determined by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. It would also require the department to evaluate the sources of a presumptive illness and evaluate measures designed to eliminate, alleviate, or ameliorate its effect.
