| Description | LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office plans on moving its suit against the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's ballot initiative proposal on the fast track, asking a judge today to move up motions so an opinion can be reached in late January.
The city's suit, filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, said that the initiative is preempted by state law, specifically California Labor Section 144.7, which mandates the use of barrier protection in the workplace when employees are exposed to blood borne pathogens and that Cal/OSHA has exclusive jurisdiction over the issue.
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, two councilmen, Bill Rosendahl and Paul Koretz, introduced an emergency motion to dismiss the suit. Both political leaders who represent the Westside of the city said that they were taken by surprise of the suit, filed last week. |
