Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in the business of, or performing for a fee, the servicing, charging, or testing of portable fire extinguishers without a license issued by the State Fire Marshal expressly authorizing the person to perform such acts. Existing law requires the licensee to notify the State Fire Marshal in writing within 15 days of any change of his or her address.

This bill would instead require the licensee to notify the State Fire Marshal in writing within 30 days of any change of his or her address.

The Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Financing Act declares that housing is of vital statewide importance to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the state and that it is the policy of the state to provide a decent home and suitable living environment for every California family. That act provides that its provisions shall be liberally construed and shall prevail over other conflicting laws.
