(1) The Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act of 1983 establishes, under the jurisdiction of the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, a program of seismic safety building standards for certain hospitals constructed on and after March 7, 1973. The act requires an owner of a general acute care inpatient hospital, no later than January 1, 2030, to either demolish, replace, or change to nonacute care use all hospital buildings not in substantial compliance with the standards established pursuant to the act or seismically retrofit all acute care inpatient hospital buildings so that they are in substantial compliance with those standards. A violation of any provision of the act is a misdemeanor. This bill would authorize the office to waive, in whole or in part, any requirement of the act, for the Seton Medical Center in Daly City, if the office accepts a plan, submitted on or before January 15, 2022, for the Seton Medical Center to comply with applicable seismic safety standards on or before July 1, 2023. The bill would require the Seton Medical Center to report to the office on its progress to timely complete an accepted plan, and by expanding the duties of the Seton Medical Center under these provisions, this bill would expand an existing crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. The bill would also authorize the office to revoke its waiver, in whole or in part, of the requirements of the act, if the Seton Medical Center fails to timely report progress that the office deems is sufficient to complete the plan. (2) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Seton Medical Center in Daly City. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
