Bill > SB212

This bill appropriates $50 million from the State General Fund to City of Hope to establish an outpatient cancer treatment clinic in Clark County, Nevada. The funding can be used for leasing and improving office space, purchasing equipment, and paying staff. City of Hope is required to enter into a five-year affiliation agreement with the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas by January 1, 2026, to provide clinical training opportunities for medical students. The bill also creates an Oncology Excellence Committee within the Department of Health and Human Services, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor, Senate Majority Leader, and Assembly Speaker. This committee will monitor the use of the appropriated funds, ensure they are used only for authorized purposes, and confirm the medical school affiliation. The committee will have no compensation for its members and will receive administrative support from the Department of Health and Human Services. City of Hope must submit two detailed reports on expenditures, one in December 2026 and a final report in September 2027. Any unspent funds must be returned to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027, and the committee will automatically expire on October 1, 2027.
