Maddy summaryThis Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR 1) is a procedural measure that sets the adjournment date for California's 2025-26 First Extraordinary Legislative Session. It directs that the session automatically adjourns "sine die" (permanently) at midnight on the date both the Assembly and Senate pass the resolution. The bill does not create new policy or affect the public; it solely establishes a procedural deadline for the legislature's own session. The title "Relative to K-Ginseng Day" appears unrelated to the resolution's actual content and likely reflects a placeholder or error in the bill's naming. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on February 3, 2025, and filed with the Secretary of State on February 6, 2025.

Existing law establishes the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists to license and regulate professional engineers under the Professional Engineers Act, to license and regulate land surveyors under the Professional Land Surveyors' Act, and to license and regulate geologists and geophysicists under the Geologist and Geophysicist Act. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to practice or to offer to practice civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering, geology, geophysics, or land surveying without being licensed under those acts, unless the person is exempt from licensure. Existing law requires fees and civil penalties received pursuant to the Professional Engineers Act, the Professional Land Surveyors' Act, and the Geologist and Geophysicist Act to be deposited in the Professional Engineer's, Land Surveyor's, and Geologist's Fund, and continuously appropriates those funds to the board for purposes of those acts. This bill would authorize the executive officer of the board to issue a citation to a person or entity that subjects the person or entity to an administrative fine of not less than $500 and no more than $20,000 for each violation of practicing or offering to practice civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, geology, geophysics, or land surveying without a license unless the person or entity is otherwise authorized by law. By authorizing additional penalties to be deposited into a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation.
