Assembly Committee Approves Measure To Ensure Children’s Day Camps Follow Calif. Health and Safety Code

The Assembly Committee on Health has approved a bill (SB 476), by state Sen. Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia), to ensure that children's day camps follow the state's Health and Safety Code. Under the bill, day camps will be required to provide a notice to operate to their local health department and install carbon monoxide detectors in certain buildings. The measure now will be considered by the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
