Bill	Public health: fish and shellfish: health advisories.	Existing law generally authorizes the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to advise all local health authorities and requires the office to control and regulate their actions when, in the office's judgment, the public health is menaced by matters within its jurisdiction. Existing law requires the State Water Resources Control Board, in consultation with the office, to develop the Coastal Fish Contamination Program to identify and monitor chemical contamination in coastal fish and shellfish and assess the health risks of consuming sport fish and shellfish caught by consumers. Existing law requires the office, under that program, to issue health advisories when the office determines that consuming certain fish or shellfish presents a significant health risk. Existing law requires the office to notify the appropriate county health officers and specified state agencies before the issuance of a health advisory. In addition, existing law requires the office to urge county health officers, pursuant to the issuance of a health advisory, to conspicuously post health warnings in areas where contaminated fish or shellfish may be caught, including piers, commercial passenger fishing vessels, and shore areas where fishing occurs.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 762	California AB 762 (20192020)	bill	Public health: fish and shellfish: health advisories.	enacted	Quirk	7	31	9	2019-02-19	2019-10-07	openstates	ocd-bill/3508b3f5-242f-44e1-ab7c-938a02de885d	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB762	9a9981ec0f7f2b7158417182210de400b0b89862e1ff2b333208ed09c2fa89ff	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
