	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 214, Davis. Professional photocopiers.
   Existing law provides for the registration and regulation of
professional photocopiers. Existing law requires the issuance of an
identification card by the county clerk for each professional
photocopier and imposes an additional $10 payment for each additional
card. Under existing law, additional cards for employees of
professional photocopiers are issued upon the payment of $10.
   This bill would instead authorize both of those additional types
of cards to be issued upon the payment of an amount sufficient to
cover the regulatory costs associated with the issuance of those
cards. The bill would require the identification card for an employee
of a professional photocopier or a partnership or corporation to
contain a photograph of the employee. By imposing additional duties
on county clerks, the bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 22453 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   22453.  An applicant shall pay a fee of one hundred seventy-five
dollars ($175) to the county clerk at the time he or she files an
application for registration. An additional fee for each card in an
amount sufficient to cover the reasonable regulatory costs associated
with the issuance of additional cards, as determined by the county
clerk, shall be paid to the county clerk for each additional card of
identification.
  SEC. 2.  Section 22457 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   22457.  (a) The county clerk shall maintain a register of
professional photocopiers, assign a number to each professional
photocopier, and issue an identification card to each one. Additional
cards for employees of professional photocopiers shall be issued
upon the payment of a fee for each card in an amount sufficient to
cover the reasonable regulatory costs associated with the issuance of
additional cards, as determined by the county clerk. Upon renewal of
registration, the same number shall be assigned, provided there is
no lapse in the period of registration.
   (b) The identification card shall be a card not less than 31/4
inches by 2 inches, and shall contain at the top the title,
"Professional Photocopier" followed by the registrant's name,
address, registration number, date of expiration, and county of
registration. It shall also contain a photograph of the registrant in
the lower left corner. The identification card for a partnership or
corporation registration shall be issued in the name of the
partnership or corporation, and shall not contain a photograph. The
identification card for an employee of a professional photocopier or
a partnership or corporation shall contain a photograph of the
employee in the lower left corner.
   (c) The identification card for an employee of a professional
photocopier or a partnership or corporation shall be issued in the
name of the employee and include "Employee of: insert name of the
professional photocopier or the partnership or corporation]."
  SEC. 3.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a
local agency or school district has the authority to levy service
charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or
level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section
17556 of the Government Code.
