	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1931, Torrico. Injury prevention.
   Existing law, the Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Act of
1999, establishes the Spinal Cord Injury Research Fund, continuously
appropriated to the University of California, for the purpose of
awarding grants to perform spinal cord injury research projects. The
fund consists of moneys from private entities, as specified, as well
as public moneys transferred to the fund. Existing law, with the
approval of the Regents of the University of California, also creates
a Spinal Cord Injury Research Program in the University of
California to promote spinal cord injury research in California. The
program and the fund are repealed as of January 1, 2011.
   This bill would eliminate the Spinal Cord Injury Research Fund,
and instead permit the University of California to establish a spinal
cord injury research fund, independent of the State Treasury, to
accept public and private funds for spinal cord injury research
programs and grants, as prescribed. It would delete the repeal date
of provisions relating to the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program
thus indefinitely extending the duration of those provisions.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 104336 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   104336.  The University of California may establish a spinal cord
injury research fund, independent of the State Treasury, to accept
public and private funds for the purpose of implementing this
chapter.
  SEC. 2.  Section 104337 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to
read:
   104337.  Moneys in the fund established pursuant to Section 104336
may be expended by the University of California solely for spinal
cord injury research programs and grants, and may be expended for,
but not limited to, costs for peer review and grant administration.
  SEC. 3.  Section 104339.5 of the Health and Safety Code is
repealed.
  SEC. 4.  Section 104339.6 of the Health and Safety Code is
repealed.
