CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 20 - Under current law, county commissions and county health center boards may promulgate orders and regulations regarding public health.
This act provides that before the adoption of such orders, the health center boards shall submit such orders to the governing body of the county or political subdivision. The governing body shall, within 30 days, either reject or modify such orders, ordinances, rules, or regulations.
Additionally, this act provides that before the adoption of such orders, a county commission or health center board shall issue a public notice of the proposed orders and allow public comment for 30 days. The county commission or county health center board may hold a non-contested hearing on the proposed order. However, if there is a declared state of emergency, a county commission or health center board does not need to issue a public notice.
