2025 - WASHINGTON – Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) has introduced the Safety Training for Officers on Public Health Threats Act (STOP Health Threats Act) bipartisan legislation to equip local law enforcement officers with the tools and training they need to recognize and respond to public health threats arising from building code violations including illegal and unsafe facilities like the biological lab discovered in Reedley California in 2023.Costa has been leading the charge to prevent future incidents like Reedley by pushing for better oversight and inter-agency coordination. "When dangerous unregulated labs can operate undetected in small towns like Reedley it’s not just a local issue—it’s a national public health risk," said Congressman Jim Costa. "This isn’t just about one lab; it’s about making sure no town has to face a threat like this alone The STOP Health Threats Act gives law enforcement the training they need to identify these risks and act swiftly and making sure every officer has the tools to protect their community."“Keeping our communities safe means making sure local law enforcement has the tools required to quickly identify serious public health threats,” said Congressman Valadao Co-Sponsor of the bill. “The STOP Health Threats Act takes important steps to help officers recognize dangerous situations—like the illegal Reedley lab—before they put their lives at risk Costa in introducing this bipartisan bill to strengthen public safety and protect our families.”“As a small rural City and yet we have to deal with some of the same threats and complexities in larger urban cities.  Criminals and those who wish to hide their activities will often choose smaller cities precisely because they believe their deeds will go unnoticed since there are fewer staff and resources to source out and investigate issues.  The STOP Health Threats Act will provide a training lifeline for rural cities ensuring that Code Enforcement Officers and Inspectors have the knowledge and tools to protect Americans from biological and similar threats that might otherwise go undetected,” said Nicole Zieba City Manager of Reedley."Code enforcement officers play a crucial role in safeguarding our communities by ensuring buildings and facilities adhere to safety standards,” said Code Council Chief Executive Officer John Belcik. “The International Code Council commends Congressman Costa for introducing the STOP Health Threats Act which would augment training for these public servants to ensure they are best equipped to identify and mitigate public health threats arising from building code violations."BACKGROUNDIn 2023 storing hazardous biological materials in violation of numerous building and health codes posing a significant threat to public health.Nationwide and poor sanitation often go unchecked due to limited specialized training for law enforcement especially in rural areas with limited resources These unchecked violations can trigger disease outbreaks and long-term health risks.The STOP Health Threats Act empowers local governments by directing the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide grants for training code enforcement officers to recognize and respond to public health threats caused by building code violations The bill promotes collaboration with public health departments and nonprofits supports the development of tailored training programs and prioritizes funding for communities like Reedley where serious threats have been identified View the text of the bill HERE.Source: Congressman Jim Costa Be sure you have your GPS enabled and try again (FOX26) — Congressman David Valadao of California's 22nd District and Congressman Jim Costa of California's 21st District have introduced the Safety Training for Officers on Public (STOP) Health Threats Act The bipartisan legislation aims to equip local law enforcement with the necessary tools and training to identify and respond to public health threats stemming from building code violations similar to what happened with the Reedley bio lab in 2023 [RELATED]Secret biological lab in Reedley shut down by health authorities over safety concerns “Keeping our communities safe means making sure local law enforcement has the tools required to quickly identify serious public health threats,” said Congressman Valadao “The STOP Health Threats Act takes important steps to help officers recognize dangerous situations—like the illegal Reedley lab—before they put their lives at risk Costa in introducing this bipartisan bill to strengthen public safety and protect our families.” Congressman Costa emphasized the broader implications of such threats it’s not just a local issue—it’s a national public health risk This isn’t just about one lab;

Environmental Justice Alliance has sued the city and the developer for not doing a full environmental review The Golden State Alliance has also sued the city of Fresno and Tulare County for industrial projects The nonprofit did not respond to requests for comment “Having a job center that could potentially employ up to 650 people that’s pretty big for our city,” Horton said “It dampened the mood quite a bit because we did our due diligence in making sure we studied every aspect of the project and its potential impacts on the environment And we have a group that’s not even based out of the

people often ask him why distribution centers go to other cities “I think our folks would want to have those kind of jobs located here in Reedley so they’re not traveling as far as possible to get to their employment centers,” Horton said The lawsuit from the Golden State Alliance alleges that the city and landowner should have done an environmental impact report to examine project’s impacts on air The lawsuit also states that the city’s study —a mitigated negative declaration — did not sufficiently address those issues “An EIR must be prepared to include a cumulative analysis discussion here to demonstrate the impact of the proposed project in a cumulative setting,” the lawsuit states “The MND does not discuss or analyze the project’s compliance.” It also claims that a warehouse could increase air pollution Air quality would disproportionately affect Hispanic communities in Reedley It also calls for landscape plans and a detailed site plan to fully analyze the project’s impacts The city’s study of the land in 2014 meant the project didn’t need a full review Lai paid $140,000 for the mitigated negative declaration Horton also said the city’s general plan accounted for industrial development along Huntsman Avenue “It was a full and thorough study,” Horton said That MND put requirements on the developer such as redoing the bridge over Traver Creek While a full EIR would have cost just below $200,000 another factor is the possible years-long process of an EIR the group also sued the city of Fresno and major developer Scannell for — among other things — not incorporating union labor into its nearly 1-million-square-foot project Scannell did a full EIR ahead of the project The Fresno City Council approved the EIR 5-2 The group also sued Tulare County for the Akers Business Park Project in 2023 A judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice later that year has been able to shake down developers for money,” Horton said Horton said there is no hurry on the
