DATE: C`'"^
SUBJECT;
Legislation: SB 1518 (Royce)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 1518 by Senator Royce, as
introduced January 9, 1986 .
BACKGROUND:
One of the Resolutions adopted by the Board and forwarded to the
County Supervisors Association of California at the request of
Chief William Maxfield urged legislation which would require
hospitals, and other health facilities, to notify emergency
medical care personnel that they may have been in contact with
persons afflicted with a contagious disease.
Senator Royce has introduced SB 1518, which requires such
notification and advice as to medical treatment for emergency
medical technicians, paramedics, lifeguards, firefighters, and
peace officers who come in contact with persons afflicted with a
contagious disease while providing their services. Since SB 1518
responds to the request of the Board for such legislation, we
recommend that the Board support SB 1518. The bill is scheduled
to be heard in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on
February 26, 1986.
