Custom upholsterers.

Existing law makes it unlawful for a person to advertise, solicit, or contract to manufacture, repair, or renovate upholstered furniture, as specified, without obtaining a custom upholsterer's license from the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation within the Department of Consumer Affairs. This bill would eliminate those provisions. The bill would make conforming changes. Existing law requires a person who advertises, solicits, or contracts to repair or renovate upholstered furniture and who does not do the work himself or herself or have it done by employees to obtain a license as a retail furniture dealer. This bill would eliminate that requirement.
