An act to amend Section 704.030 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to civil actions. add Section 2786.3 to the Business and Professions Code, relating to healing arts.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2635, as amended, Gallagher. Enforcement of money judgments: exemptions. Nursing programs: clinical hours.

Existing law, the Nursing Practice Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of the practice of nursing by the Board of Registered Nursing and requires an applicant for licensure to have completed a nursing program at a school of nursing that is approved by the board. Existing regulatory law requires the curriculum of a nursing program to include clinical practice hours and requires 75% of clinical hours in a course to be in direct patient care in a board-approved clinical setting.

This bill would provide that, during a state or local emergency declared on the basis of epidemic or contagious disease, only 25 % of clinical hours would be required to be in direct patient care in a hospital or other board-approved setting and would authorize up to 75% of clinical hours to be satisfied by simulation training.

Existing law identifies various types of property of a judgment debtor that are exempt from the enforcement of a money judgment, including material that in good faith is about to be applied to the repair or improvement of a residence, as specified.

This bill would clarify that this exemption would apply to the judgment debtor’s principal place of residence or domicile.
