County Administrator COSta
DATE'. June 18, 1986 Coiry
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3183 (Klebs)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 3183 by Assemblyman Klehs.
BACKGROUND•
Under existing law, the State Department of Health Services is
authorized, when the public health is menaced, to control and
regulate the activities of local health authorities. AB 3183
would require the State Department of Health Services to seek
full reimbursement from those individuals responsible for
menacing the public health, and would place any funds reimbursed
in this manner in a local health reimbursement account. The
money in the account would be available, when appropriated by the
Legislature, to make reimbursements to local government for
carrying out functions required by the State Department of Health
Services for mitigating such public health menaces.
The Health Services Department indicates that the intent of this
bill is to reimburse counties for the cost of food recalls. CSAC
has surveyed 16 counties. This survey showed that in 1984-85
these 16 counties spent more than $788,000 on food recalls. AB
3183 would require the State to seek reimbursement from anyone
who endangers the public health by producing contaminated food
products. These funds could then be used to reimburse counties
for the cost of implementing such food recalls.
The Health Services Director recommends that the Board support AB
3183 , and this office concurs with that recommendation.
