Summary

The bill establishes the California Investigational Peptide and Novel Compound Research and Therapeutic Access Program, allowing qualified universities, hospitals and physician groups to conduct research and limited patient access to non‑FDA‑approved peptide and small‑molecule drugs. It sets strict manufacturing, testing, oversight and reporting standards, permits licensed practitioners to prescribe these compounds under supervision, and gives limited civil‑liability protection. The program runs until 2037, with interim reporting and a working‑group study required by 2029.
