INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Davis

   An act to amend Section 22457 of the Business and Professions

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 214, as introduced, Davis. Professional photocopiers.
   Existing law provides for regulation of professional photocopiers,
including a requirement for issuance of an identification card by
the county clerk.
   This bill would require the identification card for an employee of
a professional photocopier or a partnership or corporation to
contain a photograph of the employee. By imposing additional duties
on county clerks, 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, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
