Amends existing law to provide that licensing boards and entities under the Department of Self-Governing Agencies shall be organized under the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses.

This proposed legislation will continue the reorganization of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses consistent with Executive Order No. 2020-10. The proposal will merge the Division of Building Safety (“DBS”) into the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (“DOPL”) and assign duties of the DBS Administrator to the DOPL Administrator. The proposed legislation amends the licensing renewal and reinstatement provisions, to account for differences between licensing boards. Additionally, the proposed legislation will combine the accounts of the various boards consolidated into DOPL. The accounts will be combined with the existing dedicated fund account of DOPL.
