INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Davis

                        JANUARY 31, 2011

   An act to amend Section 22457 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to business.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 214, as amended, Davis. Professional photocopiers.
   Existing law provides for regulation of professional photocopiers,
including a requirement for issuance of an identification card by
the county clerk.  Under existing law, additional cards for
employees of professional photocopiers are issued upon the payment of
$10. 
   This bill would  instead authorize those additional cards to
be issued upon the payment of an amount sufficient to cover the
regulatory costs associated with issuance of the cards. The 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.  
   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. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 22457 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   22457.  (a) The county clerk shall maintain a register of
professional photocopiers, assign a number to each professional
photocopier, and issue an identification card to each one. Additional
cards for employees of professional photocopiers shall be issued
upon the payment of  ten dollars ($10) for each card
  a fee for each card in an amount sufficient to cover
the reasonable regulatory costs associated with the issuance of
additional cards, as determined by the county clerk  . Upon
renewal of registration, the same number shall be assigned, provided
there is no lapse in the period of registration.
   (b) The identification card shall be a card not less than 31/4
inches by 2 inches, and shall contain at the top the title,
"Professional Photocopier" followed by the registrant's name,
address, registration number, date of expiration, and county of
registration. It shall also contain a photograph of the registrant in
the lower left corner. The identification card for a partnership or
corporation registration shall be issued in the name of the
partnership or corporation, and shall not contain a photograph. The
identification card for an employee of a professional photocopier or
a partnership or corporation shall contain a photograph of the
employee in the lower left corner.
   (c) The identification card for an employee of a professional
photocopier or a partnership or corporation shall be issued in the
name of the employee and include "Employee of: insert name of the
professional photocopier or the partnership or corporation]."

  SEC. 2.    If the Commission on State Mandates
determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs
shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of
Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 
   SEC. 2.    No reimbursement is required by this act
pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution because a local agency or school district has the
authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to
pay for the program or level of service mandated by this act, within
the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code.
