CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 1101

Introduced by Assembly Member Flora

February 15, 2023

An act to amend Section 462 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to consumer affairs.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1101, as introduced, Flora. Department of Consumer Affairs.

Existing law establishes the Department of Consumer Affairs in the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency. The department consists of various boards, bureaus, and commissions that are created to ensure that private businesses and professions that engage in activities that may affect the health, safety, and welfare of the public are adequately regulated. Existing law authorizes any of the boards, bureaus, commissions, or programs within the department to establish a system for an inactive category of licensure for persons who are not actively engaged in the practice of their profession or vocation.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision authorizing establishment of an inactive category of licensure.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
