Summary

Existing law prohibits biomedical research, as defined, from being conducted on any prisoner in the state. This bill would specify that biomedical research does not include the accumulation of statistical data in the assessment of the effectiveness of nonexperimental public health programs or treatment programs in which inmates routinely participate. The bill would authorize records-based biomedical research involving inmates that uses existing information, but which does not include prospective interaction with human subjects.
