LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 193, as introduced, Patterson.
Professions and vocations.
(1) Existing law establishes the Department of Consumer Affairs in the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency to, among other things, ensure that certain businesses and professions that have potential impact upon the public health, safety, and welfare are adequately regulated.
This bill would require the department, beginning on January 1, 2021, to conduct a comprehensive review of all occupational licensing requirements and identify unnecessary licensing requirements that cannot be adequately justified. The bill would require the department to report to the Legislature on January 1, 2023, and every 2 years thereafter, on the department’s progress, and would require the department to issue a final report to the Legislature no later than January 1, 2033. The bill would require the department to apply for federal funds
that have been made available specifically for the purpose of reviewing, updating, and eliminating overly burdensome licensing requirements, as provided.
(2) Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of contractors by the Contractors’ State License Board in the department and includes within the term “contractor” a person who performs tree removal, tree pruning, stump removal, or engages in tree or limb cabling or guying.
This bill would delete tree pruning from those provisions.
(3) Existing law, the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of the practice of cosmetology by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology in the department and defines the practice of both barbering and cosmetology to include shampooing the hair of any person. The act also specifies that, within the practice of
cosmetology, there is the specialty branch of skin care, which includes applying makeup, and the specialty branch of nail care, which includes cutting, trimming, polishing, coloring, tinting, cleansing, manicuring, or pedicuring the nails of any person.
This bill would delete shampooing another person from the practice of barbering and cosmetology, would delete the act of applying makeup on another person from the specialty practice of skin care, and would delete nail care from the practice of cosmetology.
(4) Existing law provides for the regulation of custom upholsterers by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services in the department, and requires every custom upholsterer to hold a custom upholsterer’s license.
This bill would delete those provisions requiring licensure of custom upholsterers.
(5) The bill would make conforming and other nonsubstantive changes.
