If the board moves to adopt, we can anticipate the regulation will become effective by the end of June. Additionally, Governor Newsom did announce that the masking changes will go into effect 6/17 if the Cal/OSHA Board Adopts the proposed text.
The CWEA Safety Committee will continue to bring you updates as they are released.
