The presentation showed the board began FY 2023–24 with about $3.0 million, collected roughly $5.0 million in revenues that year, had expenditures near $4.8 million, and ended that year with approximately $3.87 million in reserve (about 9.3 months).

For the current fiscal year, staff projected revenues of just over $4.0 million with renewals and initial license fees comprising the bulk of receipts. Expenditures were projected to be just under $5.0 million, leaving a projected fund balance near $2.9 million (approximately 6.8 months in reserve). Budget analysts emphasized that personal services cost increases (salary, retirement) and any unanticipated legislation could create future pressure on the fund and that the office uses conservative 3% ongoing increases for planning.

Board members asked several technical questions: why renewal receipts vary markedly year to year (the analysts explained the biannual renewal cycle produces high/low years), what drives increases in \"other regulatory fees\" (applications, exams and retired‑license fees), and how site‑fine collections (via the Franchise Tax Board intercept) are tracked. Staff said some fluctuations are timing artifacts and that the budget office will continue monthly monitoring and provide updated projections as final fiscal‑year data become available.

Why it matters: the fund condition statement governs licensing program sustainability and informs board decisions about potential fee adjustments, service levels and contingency planning. Board members said they will monitor whether the drop in license revenue associated with retirements stabilizes as more complete year‑end data become available.

Staff noted the budget projections are a snapshot and will be updated with final year data; the budget office recommended continued monitoring and early communication with executive staff if new legislative proposals or unanticipated expenses arise.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","California Architects Board Board Meeting June 5, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","State budget staff presented the board's fund condition statement showing a projected reserve decline tied partly to higher retirements; board members asked about renewal fluctuations and fine collections.","taxTitle","Respiratory Care Board of California, Boards and Commissions, Executive, California","taxId",76751,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547796,"Board advances rule to require one‑year cooling‑off, proof of continuing education to reinstate retired license",416,1553000,1969000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3798676-1819a216919b537aae47e1ba71270edd&start=1553&end=1969","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3798676-1819a216919b537aae47e1ba71270edd/thumbnail_1553000.jpg","/articles/6547796/California/Board-advances-rule-to-require-oneyear-coolingoff-proof-of-continuing-education-to-reinstate-retired-license","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547796-7d22a74ed94a41be3c0dd3a3bc50a6a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142571&Signature=IhaDFBU8m~wyfHV2JjwUJ8BELfyQi~Gl-k4fZnWXvPVeCOI~3FmLppT2Jwuh4A3KXPS9k2cyCqoNCw-Cpm-V8Cn5QUXvjogD-5~ODVwCGDte5axe5M5Usp3axTmJ~Hr488Tq6QJeG-lpbtGQ4-DOIf-8c3zwPm2izBJcuhlONXNyUgtFuGyCOMA-BPe5bdHssFc7WkykV90CFFtOBtZr1SE14S0J-q-N8xYKi0HuJGUEYN14Ytfk9JB3bJlQwhdZBIlPoqaGzQhi6HMFxNn9LnAdObv6KWLB5fEl4FhoqRV83-fC4pX6v7P2LwA7f5twP5vXS0NElZQk8qLOel3xTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California Architects Board reviewed and approved proposed regulatory text to establish a “retired license” pathway and set conditions for reinstatement to an active license. The proposal approved by the board would require a one‑year cooling‑off period before a person who filed to retire a license may apply to reinstate it and would require submission of proof of the continuing education credits required for active renewal rather than an applicant’s attestation.

Regulatory staff said the changes aim to address an increase in the number of licensees choosing retired status and to ensure applicants submit verifiable continuing education at reinstatement. Under the proposal presented, the retirement fee remains a one‑time $40 charge; the current active renewal fee used to reinstate an active license remains unchanged (staff stated a $400 renewal fee is in effect). Staff told the board applicants who seek to reinstate after more than five years would, under existing rules, be treated as new applicants.

Board members asked questions about how the rule interacts with pending disciplinary matters, the handling of continuing education requirements, whether other professions use similar cooling‑off rules, and how the board will notify licensees about the change. Staff said retirees would be notified by e‑mail and website updates and that application forms and acknowledgement language would be updated after any regulation is adopted. The board also clarified that disciplinary history is not abated by retirement; enforcement holds against a license remain attached to the license record.

Why it matters: the change introduces administrative verification (proof of continuing education) at reinstatement and a one‑year delay intended to reduce rapid retire‑and‑reinstate behavior that can complicate licensing administration. The board directed staff to submit the regulation text to DCA and the agency for review and to proceed with the 45‑day notice and required administrative steps.

Key clarifications recorded at the meeting:
- Cooling‑off period: 1 year from the date of retirement before reinstatement application may be accepted.
- Proof of continuing education: applicants must submit verifiable CE credits required for renewal rather than provide a signed attestation.
- Renewal/reinstatement fees: staff said the renewal fee to reactivate is currently $400; retirees pay a one‑time $40 retirement fee.
- Five‑year limit: staff noted a five‑year limit after which returning applicants may need to reapply as new applicants.
- Discipline: retirement does not remove existing disciplinary matters; enforcement records remain attached to the license.

The board approved the motion to advance the proposed regulatory text and authorized the executive officer to take all steps necessary to initiate the formal rulemaking process, make technical non‑substantive changes, and set hearings if requested.","The board approved a proposed regulation requiring a one‑year waiting period before a retired licensee may reinstate to active status and requiring proof of required continuing education; staff said the change responds to higher than-expected numbers of retirements and seeks administrative clarity.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547801,"California Architects Board ratifies regulatory corrections, authorizes rulemaking steps",339,985000,1324000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3798676-1819a216919b537aae47e1ba71270edd&start=985&end=1324","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3798676-1819a216919b537aae47e1ba71270edd/thumbnail_985000.jpg","/articles/6547801/California/California-Architects-Board-ratifies-regulatory-corrections-authorizes-rulemaking-steps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547801-aaad8fb7fe997f009dd30ecaa2e38a7d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142571&Signature=BRt7Qo5PIiyDPIGtmwleW-qQsvvOPqQAGyQIbxlVJRq0-y5RQi3Sz9aiZarHNULkfOtfejPOI~oKjGcVv6cev7VtRJMeDCoBaP~7Z3kGUPewE6Up2-IdG5RoU91JesrM8iBSDgwzzxHjox7P7VBwn7f~65aopriT0qdQOGuWOvXVODllw8aVLG5j7vMvWdnyjBJxpsxwj1l8BYFy4kKAsNRh4Sar0DZCFW4tKtBVNfNXuIHVTtZm9EWc2haHsUNijBoBQXOCh1nY5L-7BuY8EeJ8U2g65ch7tMR2mtnnOL5Hn7b4yhSO13e6ZRbUOJmVxtg~fGpvqQ4eQ3rpA1KfRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its meeting, the California Architects Board voted to ratify an addendum to an initial statement of reasons and to approve several corrections and clarifying wording changes in pending regulatory proposals, and authorized staff to proceed with routine rulemaking steps.

The board approved an addendum to the initial statement of reasons concerning proposed changes to section 116, authorized corrections to proposed language for a reasonable-accommodation regulation (section 124), and approved revised text for section 109 as presented by staff. Board members also authorized staff to submit the adopted text to the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency for administrative review and to proceed with the 45‑day notice, as required by rulemaking procedure.

Tim Rota, regulatory staff, told the board that one item corrected a date in the previously posted initial statement of reasons and that another clarification corrected a statutory reference from \"medical disability\" to \"mental disability\" so the regulation correctly cited the government code provision. For each motion the executive officer read the motion aloud, the motion was moved and seconded, a roll call was conducted and the chair announced \"motion carries.\" The board offered the public an opportunity for comment on each item; no substantive public comments were received during those agenda items.

Why it matters: ratifying the addendum and approving clarified regulatory text keeps multiple rulemaking packages on the timetable required by state administrative procedure and avoids later technical defects that would slow adoption. The board's action also ensures that statutory citations and terminology in published notices match the law referenced in staff reports.

What the board authorized staff to do: submit the adopted text for executive review, make technical and non‑substantive edits as needed, and take any steps necessary to complete the rulemaking process, including setting hearings if requested.

The board's actions were procedural and limited to advancing rulemaking. No new policy or program funding was adopted at the meeting.

Votes at a glance (board motions taken at the meeting):
- Ratify addendum to the initial statement of reasons for proposed amendments to section 116 — motion carried (roll call vote recorded in meeting minutes).
- Approve modification to proposed regulatory text for section 124 (reasonable accommodations) to correct the statutory reference — motion carried (roll call vote recorded).
- Approve proposed regulatory text for section 109 and direct staff to submit the text for agency review and proceed with the standard 45‑day comment process — motion carried (roll call vote recorded).

All items above were presented by regulatory staff and the executive officer read the motions for the record before the roll calls and votes.","The board approved an addendum to an initial statement of reasons and several regulatory text modifications and directed staff to proceed with rulemaking steps; motions were carried by roll call.","actionData","errors"]
