CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 3253

---

Introduced by Committee on Business and Professions

February 16, 2024

---

An act to amend Section 6713 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to professions and vocations.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 3253, as introduced, Committee on Business and Professions. Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists: appointments: removal.

Existing law establishes the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists within the Department of Consumer Affairs for the licensure and regulation of those professions. Under existing law, the board consists of 15 members, including 6 public members and 7 professional members appointed by the Governor, one public member appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules, and one public member appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly, as prescribed. Existing law authorizes the Governor to remove any member of the board for misconduct, incompetency, or neglect of duty.

This bill would delete that provision, and would instead authorize each appointing authority to remove from office at any time any member of the board appointed by that appointing authority for continued neglect of duties required by law, or for incompetence, or unprofessional or dishonorable conduct.
