BILL NUMBER: SB 563INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Galgiani FEBRUARY 22, 2013 An act to add Section 129853 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to health facilities, and making an appropriation therefor. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 563, as introduced, Galgiani. Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development: construction of health facilities. Existing law requires the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development to pass upon and approve or reject all plans for the construction or the alteration of any hospital building, as specified. Existing law requires the office to determine and establish an application filing fee that will cover the costs of administering these requirements, and requires the deposit of these fees into the Hospital Building Fund, which is continuously appropriated for the use of the office in carrying out these provisions. This bill would require a person or entity requesting a copy of a plan maintained by the office to bear the cost of producing the copy of that plan. To the extent that this requirement would increase the costs of administering the above-described requirements and amounts of moneys from fees deposited into the Hospital Building Fund, this bill would make an appropriation. Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 129853 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read: 129853. The person or entity requesting a copy of a plan maintained by the office shall bear the cost of producing the copy of that plan.
