Bill Text

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

 Section 104 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read:

104.

 All boards or other regulatory entities within the department’s jurisdiction that the department determines to be health-related may adopt regulations to require licensees to display their licenses or registrations in the locality in which they are treating patients, and to inform patients as to the identity of the regulatory agency they the patients may contact if they have any questions or complaints regarding the licensee. In complying with this requirement, those boards may take into consideration the particular settings in which licensees practice, or other circumstances which that may make the displaying or providing of information to the consumer extremely difficult for the licensee in their particular type of practice.
