	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1822, Bill Berryhill. California Architects Board.
   Existing law, the Architects Practice Act, provides for the
licensure and regulation of architects by the California Architects
Board, which consists of 5 architect members appointed by the
Governor, 3 public members appointed by the Governor, and 2 public
members appointed by the Legislature, as specified. Existing law
requires these members to serve 4-year terms.
   This bill would provide for the staggering of the terms of the
members appointed by the Governor whose terms commence on specified
dates by requiring certain of those members to serve 5- and 6-year
terms, as specified.
   Under existing law, an individual applicant for a license to
practice architecture is required to provide his or her social
security number to the board. Existing law prohibits the board from
processing an application unless the applicant furnishes this
information, and requires the board to report a licensee who fails to
provide this information to the Franchise Tax Board.
   This bill would authorize submission of an individual tax
identification number or another identification number, as determined
by the board, in place of a social security number where the
applicant is not eligible for a social security number and is not out
of compliance with a child support judgment or order, as specified.

not eligible for a social security account number at the time of
application and is not in noncompliance with a judgment or order for
support pursuant to Section 17520 of the Family Code.
