INTRODUCED BY   Senator Price

                        FEBRUARY 15, 2013

   An act to amend Sections 5810, 7200, and 7303 of the Business and

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 308, as introduced, Price. Professions and vocations.
   Existing law authorizes a certified interior designer, as defined,
to obtain a stamp that uniquely identifies the designer and
certifies that he or she meets certain qualifications and requires
the use of that stamp on all drawings and documents submitted to any
governmental agency by the designer. Existing law makes it an unfair
business practice for any certified interior designer or any other
person to represent that he or she is state certified to practice
interior design. Existing law provides that these provisions are
repealed on January 1, 2014, and shall be subject to review by the
Joint Committee on Boards, Commissions, and Consumer Protection,
which has been abolished.
   This bill would instead repeal those provisions on January 1,
2018, and would make them subject to review by the appropriate policy
committees of the Legislature.
   Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various
businesses and professions by boards within the Department of
Consumer Affairs, including the State Board of Guide Dogs for the
Blind. Existing law requires that the board consist of certain
members. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2014.
   This bill would extend the operation of these provisions until
January 1, 2018.
   Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of
barbering and cosmetology by the State Board of Barbering and
Cosmetology and authorizes the board to appoint an executive officer.
Under existing law, these provisions are repealed on January 1,
2014.
   This bill would instead repeal these provisions on January 1,
2018, and specify that the board would be subject to review by the
appropriate policy committees of the Legislature upon repeal.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

extends that date.  Notwithstanding any other law, the repeal of
this section renders the board subject to review by the appropriate
policy committees of the Legislature.
