Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of health facilities, including general acute care hospitals, by the State Department of Public Health. A violation of these provisions is a crime. This bill would, until January 1, 2028, require a general acute care hospital to include a urine drug screening, as defined, for fentanyl if a person is treated at the hospital and the hospital conducts a urine drug screening to assist in diagnosing the patient's condition. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law prohibits an establishment where the primary purpose is the sale and dispensation of alcoholic beverages from being used as a polling place. This bill would delete that prohibition.
Under existing law, the Department of Consumer Affairs is composed of various boards that license and regulate various professions and vocations. Existing law requires a board within the department to expedite, and authorizes a board to assist in, the initial licensure process for an applicant who supplies satisfactory evidence to the board that the applicant has served as an active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States and was honorably discharged. Existing law, the Contractors State License Law, provides for the licensing and regulation of contractors by the Contractors State License Board, which is within the department. Existing law authorizes the board to set fees by regulation, according to a prescribed schedule. This bill would require the board to grant a 50% fee reduction for an initial license or registration fee to an applicant who provides specified documentation to the board that the applicant is a veteran who has served as an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard or Reserve components, and was not dishonorably discharged.
