Fifty-Sixth Legislature, Second Regular Session
FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2210
occupational safety advisory committee; continuation
Purpose
Continues the Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee (ADOSH Advisory
Committee) for eight years.
Background
The ADOSH Advisory Committee was established in 1972 to provide recommendations
and assistance to the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) in drafting occupational safety
standards and regulations. The ADOSH Advisory Committee is appointed by the ICA and is
composed of a reasonably balanced representation of members of regulated industries, including
agriculture, labor, and others knowledgeable in safety and health. The Director of the ICA's
Division of Occupational Safety and Health serves as an ex-officio non-voting member (A.R.S.
§ 23-409).
The Senate Government Committee of Reference (COR) held a public meeting on January
17, 2024, to review and evaluate the ADOSH Advisory Committee's response to the sunset review
factors and receive public testimony. The COR recommended that the ADOSH Advisory
Committee be continued for two years until July 1, 2026 (COR Report). The ADOSH Advisory
Committee terminates on July 1, 2024, unless continued by the Legislature (A.R.S § 41-3024.17).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.
Provisions
1. Continues, retroactive to July 1, 2024, the Advisory Committee until January 1, 2032.
2. Repeals the Advisory Committee on January 1, 2033.
3. Contains a purpose statement.
