Industrial safety bill wins vote in California Assembly
In Sacramento, the Assembly passed a sweeping industrial safety bill by a 34 to 0 vote. The measure, championed by Assemblyman Jack R. Fenton, adds felony charges for certain violations, tightens inspections on high hazard industries, and requires accident investigations and posted safety notices while aiming to align state standards with federal rules and potentially bring in federal funding.
