relating to pharmacy.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2104, Hayashi. California State Board of Pharmacy.
   Existing law, the Pharmacy Law, provides for the licensure and
regulation of the practice of pharmacy by the California State Board
of Pharmacy within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The department
is under the control of the Director of Consumer Affairs. Existing
law authorizes the board to appoint a person exempt from civil
service designated as the executive officer who performs the duties
delegated by the board.
   This bill would instead authorize the board to appoint the
executive officer with the approval of the director.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 4003 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   4003.  (a) The board, with the approval of the director, may
appoint a person exempt from civil service who shall be designated as
an executive officer and who shall exercise the powers and perform
the duties delegated by the board and vested in him or her by this
chapter. The executive officer may or may not be a member of the
board as the board may determine.
   (b) The executive officer shall receive the compensation as
established by the board with the approval of the Director of
Finance. The executive officer shall also be entitled to travel and
other expenses necessary in the performance of his or her duties.
   (c) The executive officer shall maintain and update in a timely
fashion records containing the names, titles, qualifications, and
places of business of all persons subject to this chapter.
   (d) The executive officer shall give receipts for all money
received by him or her and pay it to the department, taking its
receipt therefor. Besides the duties required by this chapter, the
executive officer shall perform other duties pertaining to the office
as may be required of him or her by the board.
   (e) In accordance with Sections 101.1 and 473.1, this section
shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2013, and as of that
date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted
before January 1, 2013, deletes or extends that date.
