COMMENTS:
1)Purpose. According to the author, "This bill is the annual
Omnibus Committee bill authored by the Business, Professions
and Economic Development Committee. It is a consensus bill
which consolidates a number of non-controversial provisions
related to various regulatory programs and professions within
the DCA."
2)Background. This bill is one of two "committee bills" authored
by the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development
Committee and is intended to consolidate a number of
non-controversial provisions related to various regulatory

Professions Code (BPC). Consolidating the provisions in one
bill is designed to relieve the various licensing boards,
bureaus, professions and other regulatory agencies from the
necessity and burden of having separate measures for a number
of non-controversial revisions.
3)Current Legislation. SB 800 (Committee on Business,
Professions and Economic Development), pending in this
committee, makes numerous non-controversial changes to various
provisions of the healing arts boards regulated by the DCA.
