	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 894, as introduced, Mansoor. 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, the department
is under the control of the Director of Consumer Affairs. The term
"director" is defined for the purposes of these provisions.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
