What’s in it
AI summary County boards of supervisors would have to approve new rules suggested by county boards of health unless they can prove the rules are unnecessary or unreasonable. Supervisors can also reject a rule if the county attorney confirms that it is illegal. This change shifts the responsibility for deciding whether a health rule should pass.1
