LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 772, as amended, Leyva.
Occupational safety and health: regulations.
Existing law authorizes the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board to adopt, amend, or repeal occupational safety and health standards and orders, as defined, and requires the adoption of standards at least as effective as the federal standards for all issues for which federal standards have been promulgated under provisions of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Existing law exempts a standard or amendment to any standard adopted by the board that is substantially the same as a federal standard from specified provisions of the existing Administrative Procedure Act, including a requirement that a state agency proposing to adopt, amend, or repeal a major regulation, as defined, on or after November 1, 2013, prepare a standardized regulatory impact analysis in the manner prescribed by the Department of Finance.
This
bill would exempt any occupational safety and health standard and order from the standardized regulatory impact analysis requirement.
