Legal Research Home > California Lawyer > Business and Professions Code > California Business And Professions Code Section 101.1

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that all existing
and proposed consumer-related boards or categories of licensed
professionals be subject to a review every four years to evaluate and
determine whether each board has demonstrated a public need for the
continued existence of that board in accordance with enumerated
factors and standards as set forth in Division 1.2 (commencing with
Section 473).
   (b) (1) In the event that any board, as defined in Section 477,
becomes inoperative or is repealed in accordance with the act that
added this section, or by subsequent acts, the Department of Consumer
Affairs shall succeed to and is vested with all the duties, powers,
purposes, responsibilities and jurisdiction not otherwise repealed or
made inoperative of that board and its executive officer.
   (2) Any provision of existing law that provides for the
appointment of board members and specifies the qualifications and
tenure of board members shall not be implemented and shall have no
force or effect while that board is inoperative or repealed.  Every
reference to the inoperative or repealed board, as defined in Section
477, shall be deemed to be a reference to the department.
   (3) Notwithstanding Section 107, any provision of law authorizing
the appointment of an executive officer by a board subject to the
review described in Division 1.2 (commencing with Section 473), or
prescribing his or her duties, shall not be implemented and shall
have no force or effect while the applicable board is inoperative or
repealed. Any reference to the executive officer of an inoperative or
repealed board shall be deemed to be a reference to the director or
his or her designee.
   (c) It is the intent of the Legislature that subsequent
legislation to extend or repeal the inoperative date for any board
shall be a separate bill for that purpose.
