ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Sixth Legislature, Second Regular Session
occupational safety advisory committee; continuation
Purpose
Continues the Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee (ADOSH Advisory Committee) for eight years.
Background
The ADOSH Advisory Committee was established in 1972 to provide
recommendations and assistance to the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) in
drafting occupational safety standards and regulations.
The ADOSH Advisory Committee is appointed by the ICA and is composed of a
reasonably balanced representation of members of regulated industries,
including agriculture, labor, and others knowledgeable in safety and health. The
Director of the ICA's Division of Occupational Safety and Health serves as an
ex-officio non-voting member (A.R.S.
§ 23-409).
The Senate Government Committee of Reference (COR) held a public meeting on January 17, 2024, to review and evaluate the ADOSH Advisory Committee's response to the sunset review factors and receive public testimony. The COR recommended that the ADOSH Advisory Committee be continued for two years until July 1, 2026 (COR Report). The ADOSH Advisory Committee terminates on July 1, 2024, unless continued by the Legislature (A.R.S § 41-3024.17).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
Provisions
1. Continues, retroactive to July 1, 2024, the Advisory Committee until January 1, 2032.
2. Repeals the Advisory Committee on January 1, 2033.
3. Contains a purpose statement.
