Existing law establishes the State Department of Public Health (department) to implement various programs throughout the state relating to public health and requires the department and the Office of Emergency Services, in coordination with other state agencies, to establish a personal protective equipment stockpile. Existing law also establishes the Personal Protective Equipment Advisory Committee (committee) , consisting of representatives of various industries, as prescribed, to make recommendations to the department for the development of guidelines for the procurement, management, and distribution of PPE, as specified. Existing law requires the Director of Emergency Services to appoint the representatives that make up the committee.
This bill would instead require the State Public Health Officer to appoint representatives to the committee.
