	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2563, as introduced, Emmerson. Construction inspectors.
   Existing law, the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic
Safety Act of 1983, requires the Office of Statewide Planning and
Development to observe the construction of, or addition to, any
hospital building or the reconstruction or alteration of any hospital
building, as it deems necessary to comply with the act for the
protection of life and property. The act requires a hospital
governing board or authority to provide for and require competent and
adequate inspection during the construction or alteration by an
inspector satisfactory to the architect or structural engineer, or
both, and the office. The office is required to develop regulations
for the testing and approval of these inspectors.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would establish minimum qualifications for
certification of a professional construction inspector of record
pursuant to these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would, notwithstanding the requirements of Section
129825 of the Health and Safety Code, establish minimum
qualifications for the certification of a professional construction
inspector of record.
