California Health and Safety Code
The California Health and Safety Code is the codification of general statutory law covering the subject areas of health and safety in the state of California. It is one of the 29 California Codes and was originally signed into law by the Governor of California on April 7, 1939.
The code contains various laws, including:
Division 5 is entitled Sanitation; however, in 1989, California Integrated Waste Management Act (IWMA) of 1989 moved much of the waste management law into the California Public Resources Code
Division 2 contains licensing requirements for a variety of healthcare facilities. Physicians are licensed by the Medical Board of California.
Chapter 2 enumerates 13 types of facilities in Section 1250.1 including hospitals, skilled nursing, and hospice; these are generally regulated by the Licensing and Certification Division of the California Department of Public Health.
Outpatient ambulatory surgery center facility licensing per Chapter 1 can vary, with three options: (1) Medicare certification and regulation by the Licensing and Certification Division of the California Department of Public Health; (2) accreditation by one of five different accrediting agencies and oversight by the Medical Board of California; or (3) state licensure, which is uncommon.
The California Adult Day Health Care Act of 1977 in Division 2, Chapter 3.3 which created a system to provide healthcare during the day without committing to a nursing home has been cited as a model for the nation.
Chapter 5 regulates the use of animals for research with a 1951 law, in practice, as of 2017 many laboratories are exempt from state law due to receiving federal funds or USDA regulation.
