LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1388, as amended, Umberg. Consumer privacy. Seismic safety: Southern California Hospital at Culver City.

Existing law, the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act of 1983, establishes a program of seismic safety building standards for certain hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health Care Access and Information. Existing law requires hospitals that are seeking an extension for their buildings to submit an application to the department by April 1, 2019, subject to certain exceptions. Existing law requires that final seismic compliance be achieved by July 1, 2022, if the compliance is based on a replacement or retrofit plan, or by January 1, 2025, if the compliance is based on a rebuild plan.

This bill would authorize the department to waive, in whole or in part, any requirement of the act, for Southern California Hospital at Culver City, if the department accepts a plan, submitted on or before April 1, 2022, for Southern California Hospital at Culver City to comply with applicable seismic safety standards on or before January 1, 2024. The bill would require Southern California Hospital at Culver City to report to the department on its progress to timely complete an accepted plan. The bill would also authorize the department to revoke its waiver, in whole or in part, of the requirements of the act, if Southern California Hospital fails to timely report progress that the department deems is sufficient to complete the plan.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Southern California Hospital at Culver City.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Existing law gives a consumer the right to request that a business that maintains inaccurate personal information about the consumer correct that information, as specified.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 authorizes the Legislature to amend the act to further the purposes and intent of the act by a majority vote of both houses of the Legislature, as specified.

This bill would declare that its provisions further the purposes and intent of the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020.
