The purpose of the meeting was to facilitate the implementation of the Safe Body Art Act (AB 300). In attendance were a number of county health department officials and representatives from the body art industry.

An advisory committee, comprised of both health regulators and body art industry stakeholders, was established to provide on-going support for AB 300 implementation.
