INTRODUCED BY   Senator Galgiani

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add Section 129853 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to health facilities, and making an appropriation therefor.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 563, as introduced, Galgiani. Office of Statewide Health
Planning and Development: construction of health facilities.
   Existing law requires the Office of Statewide Health Planning and
Development to pass upon and approve or reject all plans for the
construction or the alteration of any hospital building, as
specified. Existing law requires the office to determine and
establish an application filing fee that will cover the costs of
administering these requirements, and requires the deposit of these
fees into the Hospital Building Fund, which is continuously
appropriated for the use of the office in carrying out these
provisions.
   This bill would require a person or entity requesting a copy of a
plan maintained by the office to bear the cost of producing the copy
of that plan. To the extent that this requirement would increase the
costs of administering the above-described requirements and amounts
of moneys from fees deposited into the Hospital Building Fund, this
bill would make an appropriation.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 129853 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   129853.  The person or entity requesting a copy of a plan
maintained by the office shall bear the cost of producing the copy of
that plan.
