Existing
(1) Existing law establishes the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians of the State of California within the Department of Consumer Affairs and sets forth its powers and duties relating to the licensure and regulation of vocational nurses. Existing law requires the board to, among other things, select an executive officer. Existing law requires the board to discipline a licensee whose default has been entered or who has been heard by the board and found guilty by, among other methods,
revoking his or her license.
This bill would require the board to delegate to the executive officer the authority to adopt a decision entered by default and a stipulation for surrender of a license.
(2) Existing law establishes the Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians Fund in the State Treasury, and requires all money in that fund be used to carry out the Vocational Nursing Practice Act, including promoting nursing education, the Psychiatric Technicians Law, and for the refund of license fees or other moneys paid into the Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians Fund.
This bill would specify that moneys in the Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians
Fund shall be used upon appropriation of the Legislature.
