Introduced by Senator Jones
(Coauthors: Senators Valladares and Weber Pierson)

February 18, 2026

An act to amend Section 103885 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to cancer data.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1150, as amended, Jones.
 Cancer data: notifications.

Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to conduct a program of epidemiological assessments of the incidence of cancer. Existing law requires specified entities providing specified services to cancer patients, including hospitals, practitioners, and laboratories, to report each case of cancer to the department, as specified.

This bill would require an entity described above to, within 5 business days of making a report to the department, notify the patient by mail that the entity has reported the patient’s case to the department as described above and that the department may use that report to add the patient’s case to a registry of cancer cases.

This bill would require a hospital or other facility that provides therapy to a cancer patient within an area designated as a cancer reporting area to post a sign, developed by the department, in a conspicuous location that contains an advisement about cancer data reporting and a quick response code that links to the California Cancer Registry internet website.

SECTION 1.

 Section 103885 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:

103885.

 (a) The director shall establish a statewide system for the collection of information determining the incidence of cancer, using population-based regional cancer registries modeled after the Cancer Surveillance Program of Orange County. As of the effective date of this section, the director shall begin phasing in the statewide cancer reporting system. By July 1, 1988, all county or regional cancer registries shall be implemented or initiated. By July 1, 1990, the statewide cancer reporting system shall be fully operational. Within 60 days of the effective date of this section, the director shall submit an implementation and funding schedule to the
 Legislature.

(b) The department may designate any demographic parts of the state as regional cancer incidence reporting areas and may establish regional cancer registries, with the responsibility and authority to carry out the intent of this section in designated areas. Designated regional cancer registries shall provide the department, on a timely basis, cancer incidence data, as designated by the department. The department may establish a competitive process to receive applications for, and issue, the award of a contract, grant, or allocation of funds, including, but not limited to, a cooperative agreement, subvention agreement, or any other agreement allowed by law, to an agency, including, but not limited to, a health systems agency, single
 county health department, multicounty health department grouping, or nonprofit professional association to operate the statewide cancer reporting system and to enter into contracts, or issue grants or funding allocations to other agencies representing a designated cancer reporting region for the purposes of collecting and collating cancer incidence data. The award of these contracts, grants, or funding allocations shall be exempt from Part 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code. The department shall include appropriate terms and conditions in a contract, grant, or funding allocation to ensure the proper use of state funds, including provision for reimbursement of allowable costs, financial reporting, program performance reporting, monitoring of subgrants, subcontracts, or suballocations to an agency representing a designated cancer reporting region,
 retention and access requirements for records, data use and management, independe
