Summary

Existing law, the Song-Brown Family Physician Training Program, is a state medical contract program with medical schools, programs that train primary care physician's assistants, programs that train primary care nurse practitioners, hospitals, and other health care delivery systems that is intended to increase the number of students and residents receiving quality education and training in the specialty of family practice and to maximize the delivery of primary care family physician services to areas of California where there is a recognized unmet priority need for those services. Existing law requires the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, among other duties, to provide long-term stability and non-General Fund support for these programs, and to report on these strategies to the legislative budget committees. This bill would create the continuously appropriated California Healthcare Workforce Training Tax Revenue Fund and would require all revenues appropriated or otherwise provided to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development from the tax revenues generated from a proposed nicotine-content-based e-cigarette tax to be deposited into the fund. The bill would require all revenues in the fund to be used solely for purposes of the Song-Brown Family Physician Training Program, as specified, and would require those revenues to be used to supplement, and not to supplant, funds from other sources provided for purposes of the program. By creating a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation.
