Bill > AB2471

This bill modifies the composition and responsibilities of the Alfred E. Alquist Seismic Safety Commission, which operates within the Office of Emergency Services and focuses on earthquake preparedness and safety. Specifically, it increases the commission's total membership from 15 to 17 by adding representatives from the State Fire Marshal, Department of Insurance, and Strategic Growth Council, while reducing the number of Governor-appointed members from 10 to 9. The bill also raises the quorum required for commission meetings from 8 to 9 members and mandates that the commission work with these newly added agencies to identify seismic safety activities and responsibilities. Furthermore, it expands the commission's authority to coordinate with the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the Office of Emergency Services to make policy recommendations to the Legislature regarding mitigation of fire risks following earthquakes and disruptions to critical infrastructure.
