Department of Consumer Affairs: retired category licenses.

Summary

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various professions and vocations by boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law authorizes any of the boards within the department, except as specified, to establish by regulation a system for a retired category of license for persons who are not actively engaged in the practice of their profession or vocation. This bill would additionally require a board that offers a retired category of licensure to disclose that information on its internet website.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The bill text of SB 1391 is identical in both; the differences are purely formatting and presentation, reflecting a transition from a traditional printed legislative document layout (with line numbers and page numbers) to a web-based display format with navigation elements.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a printed bill layout (with line numbers, page numbers like '99' and '-2-', and traditional header) to a web-based presentation with navigation links (skip to content, home, accessibility, FAQ, etc.) and metadata fields (Date Published, Version). The actual statutory language of Section 464 is unchanged.
