LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law requires employees and volunteers of a heritage school to be in good health, as verified by a health screening, including a test for tuberculosis, as specified.
This bill would instead require the health screening to include a tuberculosis risk assessment within the prior 60 days of initial employment or volunteer assignment, and every 4 years thereafter, and, if risk factors are present, an examination to determine that he or she is free of infectious tuberculosis.
Existing law requires students attending specified schools for blind and deaf persons to be tested for exposure to tuberculosis at least every 2 years.
This bill would repeal those provisions.
Existing law requires a foster parent applicant
and each adult residing in the applicant’s home to receive a test for communicable tuberculosis.
This bill would instead require those individuals to receive a tuberculosis risk assessment, and, if risk factors are present, an examination to determine that he or she is free of infectious tuberculosis.
Existing law requires a volunteer caregiver in a crisis nursery to be in good physical health and be tested for tuberculosis, not more than one year prior to, or 7 days after, initial presence in the facility.
This bill would instead require those individuals to submit to a tuberculosis risk assessment, and, if risk factors are present, an examination to determine that he or she is free of infectious tuberculosis.
Existing law requires an affiliated home care aide employed by a home care organization to demonstrate that he or she is free from
tuberculosis, by submitting to an examination 90 days prior to, or 7 days after, employment, to determine that he or she is free of active tuberculosis. Under existing law, an affiliated home care aide whose test for tuberculosis infection is negative is required to undergo an examination at least once every 2 years.
This bill would instead prohibit an affiliated home care aide from being initially employed by a home care organization unless he or she has submitted to a tuberculosis risk assessment within the prior 90 days, or within 7 days after employment, and, if risk factors are present, an examination, as specified. The bill would extend the required period for subsequent examinations to once every 4 years for affiliated home care aides with no identified tuberculosis risk, or a negative tuberculosis test.
Existing law prohibits a person from being initially employed by a private or parochial elementary or secondary
school, or a nursery school, unless that person produces or has on file with the school a certificate showing that he or she has submitted to a tuberculosis risk assessment, and, if risk factors are present, an examination to determine that he or she is free of infectious tuberculosis.
This bill would replace obsolete references to “nursery school” in these provisions to refer instead to “preschool” for purposes of tuberculosis risk assessment.
Existing law prohibits a person from being initially employed in connection with specified city or county public recreation areas and facilities unless that person produces or has on file with the city or county a certificate showing that within the prior 2 years he or she has been examined and found to be free of communicable tuberculosis. Existing law requires an employee with a negative skin test to repeat the test once every 4 years and, if a subsequent skin test is positive, to
have an X-ray and a referral to the local health officer for followup care.
This bill would instead require the employees to submit to a tuberculosis risk assessment, and, if risk factors are present, an examination to determine that he or she is free of infectious tuberculosis. Employees with a negative test or no identified risk factors would be required to repeat the test every 4 years and receive an examination and followup care if a subsequent test is positive, as specified. This bill would require the examination to consist of any test for tuberculosis infection recommended by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and licensed by the federal Food and Drug Administration.
