AB 1060, as introduced, Bonilla. Professions and vocations: licensure.
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various professions and vocations by boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law authorizes a board to suspend or revoke a license on the ground that the licensee has been convicted of a crime, if the crime is substantially related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of the business or profession for which the license was issued. Existing law requires the board, upon suspension or revocation of a license, to provide the ex-licensee with certain information pertaining to rehabilitation, reinstatement, or reduction of penalty, as specified.
This bill would authorize the board to provide that information through first-class mail and by electronic means.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
