AB 58: University of California, Merced: medical school.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified February 3, 2026

What AB 58 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to create a new medical school at the University of California, Merced. It would request the university to submit a report to the legislature on the financial requirements necessary to expand the existing medical education collaboration between the university and the University of California, San Francisco. The report would need to include projected costs, potential health facilities for residency, and a timeline for completing an independent school of medicine at the university. This would ultimately allow the university to transition the program into a fully independent medical school.
