LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Under existing law, the Department of Consumer Affairs is comprised of boards that license and regulate various professions and vocations. Existing law requires these boards to meet at least 3 times each calendar year, as specified.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
