*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 2272 would require the Occupational Safety and
Health Standards Board, by June 1, 2018, to adopt standards and
require training and education to protect health care personnel
and patients from exposure to vaporized human tissue.
Fiscal
Impact: The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) indicates
that costs associated with the Occupational Safety and Health
Standards Board's development of standards requiring a health
facility to evacuate or remove plume, as specified, would be
within the scope of existing workload, and thus absorbable.

However, DIR's Division of Occupational Safety and Health would
incur unknown enforcement costs once the standards have been
developed.

Amendments: Make clarifying changes.
