Sides Give on Quake Legislation.Hospitals Win Reprieve reprieve (rĭprēv`): in law, see pardon. on Seismic Upgrade Deadline There's nothing like the threat of a hospital closure to get lawmakers' attention. That threat carried the day last week when, after months of sparring spar 1 n. 1. Nautical A wooden or metal pole, such as a boom, yard, or bowsprit, used to support sails and rigging. 2.

It does not always coincide with the end of combat. -- though it had to pay a price. Squaring off against the influential labor lobby A lobby can refer to:
That 1994 legislation requires hospital operators to renovate their buildings by 2008 so they will withstand a major earthquake. A second 2030 deadline requires them to remain operational, and failure to meet either mandates mandates, system of trusteeships established by Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations for the administration of former Turkish territories and of former German colonies. closure. But in a Houdini-like feat the industry turned the closure requirement into a veritable ace up its sleeve Labor, led by the Service Employees International Union, the largest health care union in the state with 250,000 members, had wanted to keep the deadline in place. But the progressive union is concerned about health access, and, more so, about the jobs of its members. No hospitals equals no jobs. The industry also insisted that hospitals are financially weak across the state -- a position studies at least partially support -- and unprepared to meet the high cost of the law, which it pegs at $24 billion. Decision to compromise So, while the SEIU SEIU Service Employees International Union SEIU Special Education Intake Unit SEIU Secondary Education Interdisciplinary Unit SEIU Software Engineering Institute Union says it had the political muscle to stop a bill last Wednesday Wednesday: see week. that extended the 2008 deadline, it instead decided to compromise on legislation it could live with. "We want safe hospital buildings, but there are real problems the industry faced," said Beth BETH Elizabeth BETH Elisabeth BETH Bethany Capell, the SEIU's health care lobbyist. "We wanted to find a way for the hospitals to move forward and comply." The compromise, contained in a bill authored by Sen. Jackie Speier Jackie Speier is a former Democratic member of the California State Senate who represented parts of San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. Early life Speier was born May 14, 1950 in San Francisco, California. She earned a B.A. , D-San Francisco Francisco may refer to:
Those willing to rebuild to the 2030 standard earlier have until 2013 to do so without having to meet the interim 2008 deadline. A second option for financially weaker hospitals allows them to ask the state Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development to simply put off the 2008 retrofit ret·ro·fit v. ret·ro·fit·ted or ret·ro·fit, ret·ro·fit·ting, ret·ro·fits v.tr. 1. To provide (a jet, automobile, computer, or factory, for example) with parts, devices, or equipment not in work for up to five years. But the industry did not get all it wanted. The original language in Speier's bill called for allowing hospitals to simply build to tougher earthquake standards in the course of their regular construction schedule, as long it was completed by 2030. Speier's position is that with a financially weak industry, the seismic work would be taking too big a bite out Verb 1. bite out - utter; "She bit out a curse" let loose, let out, utter, emit - express audibly; utter sounds (not necessarily words); "She let out a big heavy sigh"; "He uttered strange sounds that nobody could understand" of capital that could go for other priorities, such as reducing medication errors medication error Malpractice An error in the type of medication administered or dosage.

But three decades is a long time for nervous legislators in a state that has seen at least one major earthquake every decade over the last 30 years. "That (the original language) was probably really the more rational way to go," said Jan Emerson, vice president of external affairs for the California California (kăl'ĭfôr`nyə), most populous state in the United States, located in the Far West; bordered by Oregon (N), Nevada and, across the Colorado River, Arizona (E), Mexico (S), and the Pacific Ocean (W). Healthcare Association, the hospital industry trade association. "But in terms of the political environment everyone is quite nervous about what happens if an earthquake strikes." Now, the industry will have to spend by its own estimate $14 billion to meet the 2008/2013 deadline, though a Rand Rand See Witwatersrand. rand 1 n. See Table at currency.

Labor contends this was critical, since the industry fully intended to push back the original deadlines when the time came. "When the original bill was passed in 1994, there were no annual updates or milestones. It was far away nobody believed it was real. Now there are real penalties," Capell said. Now that the issue of the deadlines appears headed for final passage, debate is now shifting in Sacramento Sacramento, city, United States Sacramento (săkrəmĕn`tō), city (1990 pop. 369,365), state capital and seat of Sacramento co., central Calif. to how much help the industry may need to get the job done. Two legislators introduced bond measures earlier this year, but the bills were put over while the more fundamental issue of the deadlines gathered all the attention. But at the request of Speaker Robert Hertzberg Robert Myles Hertzberg was born on November 19, 1954 in Los Angeles, California, was an attorney and businessperson, and served in the California State Assembly from 1996-2002. , D-Van Nuys, final passage of the Speier Speier may refer to: People
However, it appears unlikely that labor and the industry can reach an agreement on the form or size of any bond in such a short time. (Hertzberg Hertzberg may refer to:

The industry maintains that a majority of its member hospitals are operating in the red Operating in the red Doing business while losing money. , but labor says those numbers are misleading because they include many smaller hospitals. Labor says that hospitals serving 80 percent of the state's population are doing just fine.
