INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Ting

                        FEBRUARY 25, 2015

   An act to amend Section  50200   13169 
of the Health and Safety Code, relating to  housing 
 fire protection  .



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 790, as amended, Ting.  Housing and home financing.
  Fire protection: portable fire extinguishers:
licenses.  
   Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in the business of,
or performing for a fee, the servicing, charging, or testing of
portable fire extinguishers without a license issued by the State
Fire Marshal expressly authorizing the person to perform such acts.
Existing law requires the licensee to notify the State Fire Marshal
in writing within 15 days of any change of his or her address. 

   This bill would instead require the licensee to notify the State
Fire Marshal in writing within 30 days of any change of his or her
address.  
   The Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Financing Act
declares that housing is of vital statewide importance to the health,
safety, and welfare of the residents of the state and that it is the
policy of the state to provide a decent home and suitable living
environment for every California family. That act provides that its
provisions shall be liberally construed and shall prevail over other
conflicting laws.  
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to these provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   SECTION 1.    Section 13169 of the   Health

   13169.   Every   A    licensee

Sacramento office in writing within  15   30
 days of any change of his  or her  address. 
  SECTION 1.    Section 50200 of the Health and
Safety Code is amended to read:
   50200.  The exercise of powers specified in this division will be
in all respects for the benefit of the people of the state, for their
well-being and prosperity, and for the improvement of their social
and economic conditions. Therefore, this division shall be liberally
construed to effect its purposes. In the event of a conflict between
this division and another provision of law, the provisions of this
division shall be deemed controlling. If any clause, sentence,
paragraph, or section of this division is held invalid by any court
of competent jurisdiction, the decision shall not affect or impair
any of the remaining provisions.
