CA SB1090

Replaces the term "venereal disease" with "sexually transmitted diseases" (STDs), defined as diseases primarily transmitted through sexual contact, throughout the Health and Safety Code.

Requires the State Department of Public Health to allocate grants to local health jurisdictions for STD outreach, screening, and core services, targeting counties based on population and incidence rates while balancing funding distribution across multiple counties.

Mandates that funded counties identify priority populations, describe outreach protocols, include community-based partners, and allocate resources for laboratory costs, with the department developing accountability measures to monitor effectiveness.

Authorizes innovative services including voluntary STD screening in correctional facilities, social media platforms for test results and treatment access, and state-of-the-art testing modalities.

Limits the department's administrative costs to no more than 10% of appropriated funds and clarifies that these services are intended to enhance rather than replace existing STD prevention efforts.
