           SUMMARY  

          This omnibus bill makes non-controversial, minor,  
          non-substantive or technical changes to various health-related  
          professions regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs  
          (DCA).  Specifically, key provisions of this bill:

          1)Require physicians performing any procedure, instead of only  
            scheduled procedures, that results in the death of a patient  
            to report to the Medical Board of California.  

          2)Redefine a correctional pharmacy as a pharmacy located within  
            a correctional facility, without regard to whether the  
            facility is a state or local facility.

          3)Allow potential licensees regulated by the Board of Behavioral  
            Sciences (BBS) additional time to pass the California law and  
            ethics exam.

          4)Make other non-controversial, non-substantive, minor or  
            technical changes.

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          Costs to affected boards to incorporate changes from this bill  
          into current practice are minor and absorbable.

          sponsored by the Senate Committee on Business, Professions and  
          Economic Development (BPED). Consolidating the provisions in one  
          bill is designed to relieve the various licensing agencies from  
          the necessity of having separate measures for a number of  
          non-controversial revisions.
