LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 700, as introduced, Roth. Business and professions: noncompliance with support orders and tax delinquencies.

Under existing law, each applicant for the issuance or renewal of a license, certificate, registration, or other means to engage in a business or profession regulated by specified entities, who is not in compliance with a judgment or order for child or family support, is subject to support collection and enforcement proceedings by the local child support agency. Existing law also makes each licensee or applicant whose name appears on a list of the 500 largest tax delinquencies subject to suspension or revocation of the license or renewal by a state governmental licensing entity, as specified.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
