           SUMMARY  :   Transfers the responsibilities of the California  
          Department of Public Health (CDPH) to adopt regulations related  
          to building standards to the California Building Standards  
          Commission (CBSC).  

           The Senate amendments  specify that CBSC shall not adopt any  
          regulation without the concurrence of CDPH. 

           EXISTING LAW  : 

          1)Authorizes CBSC to receive building standard proposals from  
            state agencies for adoption into the California Building  
            Standards Code on an annual basis.

          2)Transfers the responsibilities of certain state agencies to  
            adopt regulations relating to building standards to CBSC.

          3)Establishes the California Code of Regulations, Title 24,  
            which provides for the building standards or regulations that  
            govern the design and construction of buildings.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill transferred the  
          responsibilities of CDPH to adopt building standards to CBSC. 

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.

           COMMENTS  :  This bill was amended in the Senate and is consistent  
          with Assembly actions.
