There are two related items on the agenda of the UCLA Legislative Assembly (Academic Senate) for Feb. 6. They were initiated by UC-San Francisco. If passed, the adjuncts and clinical faculty described would become members of the Academic Senate with the rights and privileges so entailed. It is likely they would become emeriti upon retirement, although that is not certain.
1) Adjunct Memorial: The UC Academic Senate petitions the University of California Board of Regents to amend Standing Order 105.1.a to add to the Academic Senate each person giving instruction in any curriculum under the control of the Academic Senate whose academic title is … Assistant Adjunct Professor appointed at more than 50% time; Associate Adjunct Professor appointed at more than 50% time; and Adjunct Professor appointed at more than 50% time.
2) Health Sciences Clinical Memorial: The UC Academic Senate petitions the University of California Board of Regents to amend Standing Order 105.1.a to add to the Academic Senate each person giving instruction in any curriculum under the control of the Academic Senate whose academic title is Health Sciences Assistant Clinical Professor appointed at more than 50% time; Health Sciences Associate Clinical Professor appointed at more than 50% time; and Health Sciences Clinical Professor appointed at more than 50% time.
See section DMS of https://dms.senate.ucla.edu/~
You will find arguments pro and con as well as a description of the steps that would be required to bring the two items to the Regents.
Note that there is a very long process that would have to occur before these items got to the Regents.

These items, if eventually adopted and approved by the Regents, would have a major impact on the composition of the Academic Senate, particularly at campuses with medical schools such as UCLA.
