           COMMENTS  

           Purpose  . This bill is a clean-up bill to AB 620 (J. Perez: 
          Chapter 458, Statutes of 2009). AB 620 establishes new minimum 
          size requirements and other changes to identification cards for 
          a specified class of registered professions.  AB 620 removed the 
          required photograph from a card issued to a corporation, but was 
          silent on whether to include a photograph on an employee 
          identification card. This bill clarifies that the identification 
          card must include a photograph of the employee.
