2005 California Health and Safety Code Sections 104875-104895 CHAPTER 4. DIETHYLSTILBESTEROL (DES)

104875.  For purposes of identifying persons who have been exposed
to the potential hazards of diethylstilbestrol while pregnant or
prenatally and of educating the public concerning the findings and
early detection of associated malignancies and other abnormalities,
the department shall establish, promote, and maintain a public and
professional information campaign on diethylstilbestrol.  The
campaign shall be conducted throughout the state and shall include,
but not be limited to, a concerted effort at reaching those persons
or the offspring of persons who have been exposed to
diethylstilbestrol while pregnant or prenatally in order to encourage
them to seek medical care for screening, early detection, or
treatment and follow-up of any diethylstilbestrol-related condition.
104880.  The department shall identify at least one program for
screening and follow-up care for each health service area for
purposes of referral of persons exposed to diethylstilbestrol while
pregnant or prenatally.  The department shall consider the provider's
compliance with state- and federally-mandated standards, the
location in relation to the geographical distribution of persons
exposed to diethylstilbestrol, and the capacity of the provider to
properly screen for breast cancer, vaginal cancer, cervical cancer,
vaginal adenosis, and any other malignancy and abnormal conditions
resulting from exposure to diethylstilbestrol.  The department shall
designate existing facilities presently serving the
diethylstilbestrol-exposed population as screening programs pursuant
to this section.  However, if existing facilities are not available,
training for screening and follow-up may be offered to the personnel
in existing facilities and clinics.
104885.  The department may request and shall receive from any
department, division, board, bureau, commission, or agency of the
state or of any political subdivision thereof such assistance and
data as will enable it to properly carry out its activities and
effectuate the purposes set forth in this chapter.  The department
may also enter into any contract for services as it deems necessary
with  a private agency or concern upon such terms and conditions as
it deems appropriate.
104890.  The department shall present to the Legislature, on or
before December 1, 1982, information on the diethylstilbestrol
program.
104895.  It is the intention of the Legislature in enacting this
chapter that funding for this program in subsequent fiscal years be
through the normal budgetary process.
