Powder Springs Elementary School February 2016Powder Springs, GA

ASHRAE’s Student Activities Chair, Irvin Sierra, spoke to 3rd grade students at Powder Springs Elementary School in late January. A demonstration was conducted where varies types of filters (in the same MERV class) where tested, showing them all filters are not the same. They all predicted something different but realized you can’t judge a book by its cover. The students asked numerous questions and were looking forward to the next experiment. Thanks again to the Powder Spring Elementary School teachers for their dedication to their students. Until next time!

Tracking Bills Through the Georgia General AssemblyHow the Process Works

The Legislator sees a need for a new law or changes to existing law and introduces a Bill. The idea(s) are taken to the Office of Legislative Counsel. There, attorneys advise the legislators on legal issues and drafts Bill.

INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING: The Legislator files bill with the Clerk of the House or Secretary of the Senate. On the next legislative day after filing, the bill is formally introduced. In chambers, Bill’s title is read during the period of “first readings”. Immediately after first reading, presiding officer assigns bill to a standing committee.

SECOND READING: In the House only, on the next legislative day, the Clerk reads the bill’s title (second reading) in chamber, although actual Bill is now in committee. In Senate, second reading comes after Bill is reported favorably from a committee.

COMMITTEE ACTION: The Bill is considered by the committee. The Author and other legislators may testify. If controversial, public hearings may be held. Final Committee action is reported in a written report. Committee options are: Recommend Bill or Resolution Do Pass; Recommend Do NOT Pass; Recommend Do Pass with changes (amendments or substitutes); Hold Bill.

THIRD READING AND PASSAGE: The Clerk or Secretary prepares a General Calendar of bills favorably reported from committees. Legislation which was second read the day before is placed on a calendar in numeric order for floor action prior to the Rules Committee meeting to choose Bills for consideration. At a certain point, set by rules, the Rules Committee meets and prepares a Rules Calendar for the next day’s floor consideration from Bills on the General Calendar. The presiding officer calls up Bills from the Rules Calendar for floor action in order as they appear on this calendar. Once presiding officer calls bill up from Rules Calendar, the Clerk or Secretary reads Bill titles (third reading). Bill is now ready for floor debate, amendments, and voting. After debate, main question is called and members vote. If the Bill is approved by majority of total membership of that chamber, it is sent to the other chamber.

TRANSMITTAL TO OTHER CHAMBER: If second chamber passes the Bill, it is returned to chamber where Bill was introduced. If first chamber rejects changes and second chamber insists, a conference committee may be appointed. Committee report is accepted by both chambers. Bill is enrolled and sent to the Governor (if requested). Otherwise, all enrolled bills sent to Governor following adjournment sine die.

GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE/VETO: Governor may sign bill or do nothing, and bill becomes law. Governor may veto bill, which requires two-thirds of members of each house to override.

ACT: Acts and other laws enacted at the session are printed in the Georgia Laws series. Also, acts are incorporated into the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. Acts becomes effective the following July 1, unless a different effective date is provided in an act.Grassroots Government Advocacy Committee

Check out the article below that mentions ASHRAE by name. As you know, last summer ASHRAE released ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188-2015, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems. This article outlines how the county is encouraging the adoption of this new Standard as part of the effort to prevent the bacteria that causes legionella. If you would like to read the Standard, it is available in a read-only format on the ASHRAE website.

How New York City Can Learn From FlintWILLIAM MCCOYNEW YORK DAILY NEWS 02/20/2016 4:05 AM ET

RICHARD HARBUS/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

It’s not just water towers

In recent weeks, the nation has watched in anguish as Flint, Mich., has come to wrap its arms around a water crisis of major magnitude. We’ve all read horror stories about the state changing the city’s water source — and the high lead levels and incidence of Legionnaires’ disease that were the result. The health of New York City’s water is quite good by comparison, but we ought not be smug. The New York City Department of Health must be diligent in protecting the public from all waterborne health threats.

Months before the story became public, a team of experts from Virginia Tech sounded the alarm about elevated pollutants in Flint’s water supply through testing of residents’ water. They produced scientific evidence that led residents to demand an investigation of why people were being told their water was safe when it was not. Government officials in Michigan were irresponsibly slow to respond to the evidence found from testing the drinking water, and the situation escalated to crisis levels. We now know just how devastating that was for the citizens of Flint.

New York City should not make the same mistake. Do you remember just last summer, when families in the South Bronx faced a frightening threat — an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease that affected dozens of people and tragically led to several deaths? Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially deadly, pneumonia-like illness caused by inhalation of water droplets that contain Legionella bacteria. New York City and state jumped in and acted quickly. The city passed an emergency law to regulate the cooling towers for the air conditioning system, one possible pathway for Legionella bacteria. But that law does not go far enough to protect public health. There is a significant body of scientific data that proves the primary source of Legionella is the drinking water that flows through an entire building. While the HVAC cooling towers operate with the building drinking water, there are many other potential sources of human exposure to Legionella within the building. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization, these droplets can be inhaled from multiple sources inside a building.

At particular risk are people working or living in buildings with large or complex water systems. Multi-family dwellings, which encompass most of the residential living space in New York, are highly vulnerable to waterborne bacteria in shower heads, faucets, fountains, hot tubs, ice machines, misters and other devices. The

Grassroots & Government Activities, cont.


Page 11


current New York City regulation does not address these other sources of exposure. In the next few weeks, New York City must show it learned from Flint, and correct its oversight. The city’s Department of Health is reviewing the emergency rule passed after the outbreak. It must decide by March whether to recommend expansion of the law and address the Legionella threat to city and building drinking water systems. This should be an easy decision, if the city follows guidelines recommended by the federal government and the standard adopted by experts at the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.

The current regulations do not go far enough to protect the public. Without treating the growth of the bacteria at its source, cleaning and disinfecting parts of the drinking water system downstream of other sources within the building will not prevent reoccurrence of an outbreak. Public officials in Flint apparently ignored the evidence. Officials in New York City have the evidence in front of them. To keep New Yorkers safe and healthy, they should expand the rules to prevent Legionnaires’ disease and other bacteria from developing in the city’s drinking water
