	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lieu

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 25249.13 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to toxic chemicals.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 650, as introduced, Lieu. Toxic chemicals: exposure.
   The existing Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) prohibits any person, in the course of doing
business, from knowingly and intentionally exposing any individual to
a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive
toxicity without giving a specified warning, or from discharging or
releasing such a chemical into any source of drinking water, except
as specified. The act provides that it does not alter or diminish any
legal obligation otherwise required in common law or by statute or
regulation, or create or enlarge any defense in any action to enforce
a legal obligation.
    This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
