LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1024, as introduced, Walters. Professional vocations:
abolition of boards and committees.
Existing law, within the Department of Consumer Affairs, creates
various boards with appointed members, which are charged with the
licensing and regulation of certain professions and vocations,
including the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board, the
Hearing Aid Dispensers Advisory Committee, the California Architects
Board, the Landscape Architects Technical Committee,

the Board for
Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors,

the Contractors' State
License Board, and the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Existing
law creates the Hearing Aid Dispensers Advisory Committee, which
advises the Hearing Aid Dispensers Bureau of the department on
related matters. Existing law, with respect to various other
professions and vocations, provides for licensing and regulation of
those professions and vocations directly by the Department of
Consumer Affairs and staff appointed by the Director of Consumer
Affairs.

This bill would abolish all of the above-referenced boards and the
committee, and transfer their responsibilities and duties to the
Department of Consumer Affairs.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
