  1. CALIFORNIA HEALTHY HOUSING COALITION CA Senate Bill 488

  2. The Problem • CA Substandard Housing Code only allows a Health Officer to: • determine a pest infestation • determine if adequate garbage and rubbish storage and removal facilities are present • In CA, most Cities do not have Health Officers so pest infestation enforcement was not being performed in 40% of jurisdictions

  3. The Solution! CHHC Code Enforcement Work Group set as priority in 2011 to modify CA Health & Safety Code 17920.10 Modification would allow local code enforcement officers to determine when there are pest and vermin infestations, and cite for inadequate garbage storage and removal.

  4. Legislative Process • Identified Author: Senator Hueso • Identified primary sponsors: • Regional Asthma Management and Prevention Program • CA Pan-Ethnic Health Network • CA Association of Code Enforcement Officers • Senate: 42-0 • Assembly: 74-0 • Governor Signed: August 12, 2013

  5. ANY QUESTIONS? CHHC Code Enforcement Working Group Co-Chairs: Brandon Kitawaga & Alan Johanns To find out more information about the bill, go to the CHHC website: http://www.cahealthyhousing.org/
