The California Legislative Analyst's Office issued a report finding that concerns raised by Gov. Jerry Brown (D) regarding Cal/OSHA funding are valid and that additional positions proposed by Brown would enable Cal/OSHA to meet state requirements that are currently not being met and at least partially address federal OSHA concerns. Brown proposes an additional 44 positions (34 with inspection responsibilities), phased in over two years, at a cost of $4.6 million (special funds) in 2015-16 and $7.1 million ongoing.
