Summary

The bill directs the California Community Colleges Chancellor to create a pilot that lets ten selected districts offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing while still providing associate‑degree nursing programs. Selection favors geographic equity, underserved nursing areas, and districts serving persistent‑poverty communities, and caps enrollment at 25 % of the district’s ADN class size or 35 students, whichever is greater. The Legislative Analyst’s Office must evaluate the pilot and report findings by July 1 2033.
