Existing law, the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act of 1983, establishes a program of seismic safety building standards for certain hospitals. Existing law requires hospitals that are seeking an extension for their buildings to submit an application to the Department of Health Care Access and Information by April 1, 2019, subject to certain exceptions. Existing law requires that final seismic compliance be achieved by July 1, 2022, if the compliance is based on a replacement or retrofit plan, or by January 1, 2025, if the compliance is based on a rebuild plan. This bill would, notwithstanding the above provisions, authorize the department to waive the requirements of the act for the O'Connor Hospital and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in the City of San Jose if the hospital or medical center submits, on or before January 15, 2022, a plan for compliance and the department accepts the plan based on it being feasible to complete and promoting public safety. The bill would require, if the department accepts the plan, the hospital or medical center to report to the department on its progress to timely complete the plan by specified dates. The bill would authorize the department to revoke its waiver if O'Connor Hospital or Santa Clara Valley Medical Center fails to timely report progress that the department reasonably deems is sufficient to complete their respective plans and certain other conditions are satisfied. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the O'Connor Hospital and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
