SUMMARY : Recasts provisions of existing law governing the
periodic review (known as "Sunset Review") of boards, bureaus
and commissions under the Department of Consumer Affairs.
The Senate amendments clarify that the Senate Committee on
Rules, instead of the President pro Tempore of the Senate, shall
appoint members to the Joint Sunset Review Committee established
by this bill.
EXISTING LAW :
1)Establishes the Joint Committee on Boards, Commissions and
Consumer Protection to hold public hearings at specified times
and to evaluate whether a board or regulatory program has
demonstrated a need for its continued existence.
2)States legislative intent that all existing and proposed state
boards are subject to review every four years to evaluate and
determine whether each has demonstrated a public need for its
continued existence, as specified.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill is substantially similar to
the version approved by the Senate.
