1280.2
. (a) No deficiency cited pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b) of Section 1280 or Section 1280.1 shall be for the
failure of a facility to meet the requirements of the California
Building Standards Code if, as of January 1, 1994, the hospital
building was approved under Chapter 12.5 (commencing with Section
15000) of Division 12.5, or if the hospital building was exempt from
that approval under any other provision of law in effect on that
date.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that neither the
amendments made to Section 1280 by the act that added this section,
nor Section 1280.1 shall be construed to require the retrofitting of
hospital buildings built prior to January 1, 1994, to meet seismic
standards in effect on that date.
