Story of Students in San Diego
• Identified a problem (fall 2011):California Health and Safety Code 17920.3(12):
Infestation of insects, vermin, or rodents as
determined by a health officer
• Got local media attention• Developed a solution• Talked with some stakeholders• Pitched a bill with a local representative in
Sacramento (winter 2012)
…but they didn’t get any traction

A “Simple” Fix
![Page 17: One out of three metro area homes has at least one healthy & safety hazard](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/568148c2550346895db5ddc7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What We Got
Infestation of insects, vermin, or rodents as determined by a health officer or, if an agreement does not exist with an agency that has a health officer, the infestation can be determined by a code enforcement officer, as defined in Section 829.5 of the Penal Code, upon successful completion of a course of study in the appropriate subject matter as determined by the local jurisdiction.
