Bill > AB1461

This bill makes minor technical changes to the existing provisions in the Business and Professions Code regarding the removal of board members within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Specifically, the bill updates the language describing circumstances under which the Governor can remove a licensing board member from their position. The key provision allows the Governor to remove a board member who has knowledge of and discloses specific examination questions to applicants before or during an examination. The bill makes grammatical edits, such as replacing phrases like "such member" with "the member" and removing redundant language like "or questions" after the word "question". These changes are considered nonsubstantive, meaning they do not alter the fundamental meaning or intent of the existing law, but rather improve its clarity and precision. The removal proceedings would still be conducted according to the established procedures in the Government Code, with the Governor retaining the same powers to take such action.
