2005 California Government Code Sections 8893 Article 1. Legislative Findings

8893.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares that buildings
constructed of precast concrete wall construction (commonly referred
to as tilt-up buildings) or reinforced masonry buildings with
inadequate wall anchorage to wood frame floors or roofs continue to
pose a serious threat to public safety and the economic viability of
the State of California because of their potential for damage and
collapse during earthquakes.
   (b) The Legislature further finds and declares that in areas
affected by past earthquakes, buildings with walls that were properly
anchored to floors or roofs suffered less earthquake damage, less
earthquake collapse, and fewer hazards to life.
   (c) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that this
chapter shall ensure that earthquake hazards of all precast concrete
or reinforced masonry buildings with inadequate wall anchorage to
wood frame floors or roofs in the State of California are mitigated.
