CDPH Updates Title 22 Licensing Fee, Diesel Generator Regulations

January 31, 2013 Roger Richter BJ Bartleson

The California Department of Public Health has updated sections of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations related to licensing fees and diesel generator testing so they conform to changes previously enacted in statute. Because the changes were enacted through statute, they do not have a “regulatory effect” and are not required to go through the standard regulatory development process. A list of the affected Title 22 sections that have been amended or repealed is attached. Also attached are the updated sections.

CBSC Adopts Emergency Building Codes

January 25, 2013 Roger Richter

The California Building Standards Commission has adopted emergency regulations to the 2010 California Building Standards Code to eliminate conflicts between requirements in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California code. Prior to this change, hospitals and other businesses were not able to meet both ADA and California access compliance for signage; seating in auditoriums, assembly halls and theaters; and water closets and drinking fountains. Because signage requirements continue to cause confusion, CHA will hold a webinar March 5, from 10 a.m. to noon, on hospital signage compliance. Additional information on the webinar — ADA and California Access Code Signage Requirements — will be provided early next week.

ARB Provides Tool for Meeting New Refrigeration System Requirements
Webinar offered Dec. 13

November 30, 2012

Hospitals operating refrigeration systems with a charge of 200 lbs. or more of high global warming refrigerant will have to submit 2013 service records to the state Air Resources Board (ARB) by March 2014. Starting Jan. 1, 2013, facilities will be able to enter their 2013 service records directly into ARB’s online reporting database. This will allow them to enter records periodically rather than waiting until the deadline to comply. ARB will hold a complimentary webinar Dec. 13 from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. (PT) to provide instructions on correctly entering records. In addition, ARB will cover regulations and procedures for filing annual reports and paying annual implementation fees using an online tool.
