INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Hagman

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2013

   An act to amend Section 7506.5 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to repossessors.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 791, as introduced, Hagman. Collateral recovery: repossessors.
   Existing law, the Collateral Recovery Act, provides for the
licensure and regulation of repossession agencies by the Bureau of
Security and Investigative Services under the supervision and control
of the Director of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires an
applicant for a qualification certificate or for an initial
registration or a reregistration to submit an application to the
bureau and include certain personal information in the application
that is confidential and is prohibited from being disclosed to the
public.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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