   AB 2486, as introduced, Feuer. Director of Consumer Affairs.
   Under existing law, the Department of Consumer Affairs consists of
boards that license and regulate various professions and vocations.
The department is under the control of the Director of Consumer
Affairs. Existing law requires the director to receive complaints
from consumers concerning various matters, including, but not limited
to, violations of certain laws and regulations promulgated pursuant
to those laws.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
