Section § 67320

Explanation

The law requires that campuses within the California Community Colleges, California State University, and University of California systems consider human health, comfort, and equipment effectiveness when buying office equipment. The governing bodies of these institutions need to set up rules to ensure these factors are taken into account. Office equipment includes electronic devices, typewriters, chairs, and tables, among other things.

Each campus of the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and the University of California shall consider human and ergonomic factors, including human health and safety, human comfort, and equipment usefulness when they select and procure office equipment and related support equipment.
