LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 817, as introduced, Kiley.
Barbering and cosmetology: mobile units.
Existing law, the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, establishes the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology for the licensure and regulation of barbering and cosmetology. The act, for provisions related to the operation and licensing of mobile units, defines a mobile unit to mean a self-contained, self-supporting, enclosed mobile unit that is at least 24 feet in length, that is licensed as an establishment for the practice of any occupation licensed by the board, and that complies with specified provisions and regulations. The act requires an application for a state license to operate a mobile unit and an application to transfer ownership or control of a licensed mobile unit to include, among other items, a detailed floor plan, specified proof of purchase or lease of the mobile unit and shop equipment, copies of certain local licenses or permits, and proof of compliance with applicable city,
county, and state plumbing, electrical, and fire laws. The act requires a state license to authorize the operation of the unit only within designated geographical boundaries, and makes the operation of the unit outside those boundaries unlawful, unless a license for the expanded geographical area has been obtained, as specified. The act requires a mobile unit to be equipped with a list of specified functioning systems, including, among others, a specified container for waste materials, a specified toilet, and a self-contained, potable water supply, as specified. The act requires, in the event of depletion of potable water, the operation of the mobile unit to cease until the supply is replenished. A violation of the act is a crime, unless otherwise provided.
This bill would revise the definition of mobile unit to mean a self-contained, self-supporting, enclosed movable unit in which any activity licensed under this chapter is practiced. The bill would remove the
requirements that the above-described applications include copies of certain local licenses or permits and proof of compliance with applicable city, county, and state plumbing, electrical, and fire laws, and would, instead, require those applications to include a signed acknowledgment under penalty of perjury that they are in compliance with all applicable city and county requirements, including plumbing, electrical, and fire laws. The bill would remove the requirement that the application for a state license include proof of purchase or lease of the shop equipment. The bill would remove the geographical boundaries limitations on the license to operate a mobile unit. The bill would revise the list of functioning systems with which a mobile unit is required to be equipped to, among other things, remove the specified container for waste materials and the specified toilet. The bill would make the requirement that a mobile unit be equipped with a self-contained, potable water supply contingent upon the mobile
unit offering shampooing services, and would remove the requirement that operation of the mobile unit cease if the supply is depleted. By imposing additional requirements on persons licensed under the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, a violation of which is a crime, and by expanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
