   An act to amend Section 2982 of the Business and Professions Code,
relating to business and professions.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 773, Baker. Board of Psychology: licenses.
   The Psychology Licensing Law establishes the Board of Psychology
to license and regulate the practice of psychology. Under that law,
psychology licenses expire on the legal birth date of the licensee
during the 2nd year of a 2-year term.
   This bill would instead have those licenses expire at the end, as
provided, of a 2-year period from the date the license was issued.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 2982 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   2982.  (a) All licenses expire and become invalid at 12 midnight
on the last day of February, 1980, and thereafter shall expire at 12
midnight of the last date of the two-year period from the date the
license was issued.
   (b) To renew an unexpired license, the licensee, on or before the
date on which it would otherwise expire, shall apply for renewal on a
form provided by the board, accompanied by the prescribed renewal
fee.
