Overview
Continues the Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee)
for eight years.
History
Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee was established in 1972 to provide recommendations and assistance
to the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) in the drafting of standards and regulations.
The Advisory Committee consists of a reasonably balanced representation of person
knowledgeable in safety and health appointed by the ICA. The number of members on the
Advisory Committee is not specified by statute so long as it is a reasonably balanced
representation of industries, including agriculture, labor and persons knowledgeable in
safety and health. Statute requires the Director of the Division of Occupational Safety and
Health serve as an "ex-officio" non-voting member (A.R.S. § 23-409).
Sunset Review Process
The sunset review process provides a system for the Legislature to evaluate the need to
continue the existence of state agencies which are reviewed by a legislative committee of
reference (COR). The COR is required to hold a public hearing, receive testimony from agency
officials and the public and consider the agency's responses to the statutorily-outlined sunset
factors in determining whether to recommend continuing, consolidating or terminating the
agency (A.R.S 41-2954).
The House Commerce COR held a public meeting on January 16, 2024, and recommended
that the Legislature continue the Advisory Committee for eight years. The Advisory
Committee terminates on July 1, 2024, unless continued by the Legislature (A.R.S. § 41-
3024.17).
