Public commenters flag encrypted-email problems and request OASIS status; staff report hires and hearing-length agenda addition
Summary
Public commenters raised problems opening encrypted emails and asked for an OASIS case status for dismissed citations; staff announced a new attorney start date and Chief Counsel requested a future discussion on hearing length.
During public comment at the June 3 meeting, members of the public raised several procedural and technical concerns and asked the board to consider administrative changes.
Commenters reported difficulty opening encrypted emails the board began sending after changing its outgoing address and requested that the board add a specific case status in OASIS to indicate citations that have been dismissed. Members of the public also asked that the board’s website note which Decisions After Reconsideration are the subject of litigation. The minutes record additional public concerns about hearing length, last-minute amendments to citations, and references to Labor Code sections 6615 and 6627; the comments are recorded without individual speaker attribution in the public minutes.
On administrative staffing, Amy N. Lara reported that a new attorney has accepted the position and will start June 16, 2026; the Analyst I position will be reposted and interviews for an administrative law judge role are ongoing. Separately, Chief Counsel Aaron Jackson asked that discussion of the length of hearings be added to the next public meeting agenda.
The minutes do not attribute the public comments to named individuals in the public record and the board took no immediate formal action on the requests during the June 3 meeting.
