CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 766

Introduced by Assembly Member Gabriel

February 16, 2021

An act to amend Section 425 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to public health.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 766, as introduced, Gabriel. Ambient air quality standards.
Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to submit to the State Air Resources Board recommendations for ambient air quality standards reflecting the relationship between the intensity and composition of air pollution and the health, illness, irritation to the senses, and the death of human beings.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision by replacing an obsolete reference to the former State Department of Health Services with the State Department of Public Health.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 425 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:

425.
 The State Department of Public Health Services shall submit to the State Air Resources Board recommendations for ambient air quality standards reflecting the relationship between the intensity and composition of air pollution and the health, illness, irritation to the senses, and the death of human beings.
