SAN FRANCISCO & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BayBio and BIOCOM, the trade associations for the Northern and Southern California life science clusters respectively, today thanked Governor Jerry Brown and Assemblyman Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo) upon the signing of his AB 1277, legislation which addresses facility inspections by state regulators that are largely duplicative of those already done by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). AB 1277 will eliminate many of those state facility inspections, which often look for the same issues as those covered in federal inspections.
