CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1103

Introduced by Senator Hurtado

February 19, 2020

An act to amend Section 9060 of the Labor Code, relating to occupational safety.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1103, as introduced, Hurtado. Occupational safety: carcinogens: civil penalties.

Existing law, the Occupational Carcinogens Control Act of 1976, defines carcinogens, and requires the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board to adopt standards for carcinogens pursuant to specified standards. Existing law prescribes civil penalties applicable to violations of standards and special orders regulating the use of carcinogens, including a civil penalty for repeated serious violations of not less than $10,000.

This bill would change the civil penalty for a repeated serious violation of standards and special orders regulating the use of carcinogens to not less than $15,000.
