Public health: unintentional injuries.

Existing law establishes the State Department of Public Health in state government. Existing law vests within the department certain duties and powers to protect and preserve the public health. This bill would require the State Department of Public Health to develop, on or before June 1, 2018, a state data collection plan and uniform standards and protocols for purposes of collecting statewide information on unintentional injury incidents, as specified. The bill would specify that its provisions not be construed to require data collection beyond that required by existing law.
