                        JANUARY 31, 2011

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


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