INTRODUCED BY   Senator Galgiani

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 24275 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to asbestos safety.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 688, as introduced, Galgiani. Asbestos safety: regulations.
   Under existing law, if the State Department of Public Health
believes that the air monitoring standard for asbestos in public
school buildings should be revised, the department is required to
promulgate a regulation to that effect. Existing law requires the
department to provide the Office of Public School Construction with
appropriate sampling methodology for use in taking air samples in
public school buildings.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
