BILL NUMBER: AB 2638 INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Chau FEBRUARY 21, 2014 An act to amend Section 111 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to the Department of Consumer Affairs. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2638, as introduced, Chau. The Department of Consumer Affairs. Under existing law, the Department of Consumer Affairs is comprised of boards that license and regulate various professions and vocations. Existing law provides that these boards are established to ensure that private businesses and professions are regulated to protect the people of this state. Under existing law, any board has the authority to appoint commissioners on examination, to give the whole or any portion of any examination, as specified. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 111 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read: 111. Unless otherwise expressly provided, any board may, with the approval of the appointing power, appoint qualified persons, who shall be designated as commissioners on examination, to give the whole or any portion of any examination. A commissioner on examination need not be a member of the board but he or she shall have the same qualifications as one and shall be subject to the same rules.
