No. 606
Introduced by Senator Glazer |
February 22, 2019 |

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 606, as amended, Glazer.
Professions and vocations.
(1) Existing law, until January 1, 2021, establishes the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians to license and regulate vocational nurses and psychiatric technicians. Existing law, before January 1, 2018, requires the board to select an executive officer to perform duties delegated by the board. Existing law, commencing January 1, 2018, requires the Governor rather than the board to appoint an executive officer and, commencing January 1, 2020, requires the executive officer to again be appointed by the board.
This bill would extend the operation of the provisions requiring the Governor rather than the board to appoint
an executive officer to January 1, 2021.
(1)
(2) The Barbering and Cosmetology Act provides for the licensure and regulation of the practice of barbering and cosmetology by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law authorizes the board to appoint an executive officer. Existing law repeals those provisions on January 1, 2020.
This bill would extend the operation of those provisions to January 1, 2021.
(2)
(3) The Cemetery and Funeral Act provides for the licensure and regulation of cemeteries, crematories, funeral establishments, and their personnel, including embalmers, by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The act makes the bureau’s powers and duties, as set forth in this act, subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature as if the act’s provisions are scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2020. The act requires the bureau to require an applicant for licensure as an embalmer to pass two 2 examinations. The act authorized an applicant who previously failed the examination
administered by the bureau prior to January 1, 2010, to retake the examination until June 30, 2010. That act also authorizes the bureau, from time to time, to examine the requirements for the licensure of embalmers in other states, as specified.
This bill would make the board’s powers and duties subject to review as if the act’s provisions are scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2024. The bill would delete the obsolete provision that authorized certain applicants to retake the examination, and would delete the phrase “from time to time” from the provision authorizing the bureau to examine licensure requirements for embalmers in other states.
