The BEARHFTI Advisory Council meeting held on March 29, 2018, focused on the ongoing collaboration with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) regarding the transition of licensing for the moving industry in California.

During the meeting, officials highlighted the significant role of the DCA's communications division in developing outreach strategies aimed at licensees and consumers. This includes the creation of pamphlets, flyers, and a social media campaign set to launch in May. The initiative aims to enhance awareness and understanding of the licensing process within the moving industry, marking a pivotal step in regulatory efforts.

The council expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming campaign, viewing it as an opportunity to improve consumer protection and industry standards. Further contributions from council members were welcomed, indicating a collaborative approach to refining the outreach efforts.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of effective communication in facilitating the transition and ensuring that stakeholders are well-informed about the changes in licensing procedures. The next steps will involve the rollout of the communication campaign, which is expected to engage both licensees and consumers effectively.
