AB 1003, as introduced, Maienschein. Professional corporations: healing arts practitioners.
The Moscone-Knox Professional Corporation Act provides for the organization of a corporation under certain existing law for the purposes of qualifying as a professional corporation under that act and rendering professional services. The act defines a professional corporation as a corporation organized under the General Corporation Law or pursuant to specified law that is engaged in rendering professional services in a single profession, except as otherwise authorized in the act, pursuant to a certificate of registration issued by the governmental agency regulating the profession and that in its practice or business designates itself as a professional or other corporation as may be required by statute. The act authorizes specified listed types of healing arts practitioners to be shareholders, officers, directors, or professional employees of a designated professional corporation, subject to certain limitations relating to ownership of shares.
This bill would delete professional employees from that authorization, and, instead, would provide that those provisions do not limit the employment of persons duly licensed under the Business and Professions Code, the Chiropractic Act, or the Osteopathic Act to render professional services, by a designated professional corporation, to the listed licensed professionals specified in the provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
