Household mover enforcement regulations effective April 1; upholstery labeling rulemaking moves through OAL
Summary
Policy manager Eileen Yap said household mover enforcement regulations were adopted and effective April 1; the labeling regulation package has been split into a Section 100 proposal now before OAL and a substantive proposal that will return for further review; AB 366 (ignition interlock) is in appropriations after April committee passage.
The bureau provided a legislative and regulatory update to the advisory council on May 8, describing recent regulatory adoptions and the status of pending rulemaking and legislation.
Eileen Yap, the bureau’s policy manager, told the council that household mover enforcement regulations completed the rulemaking process and became effective April 1, 2025. The regulations establish definitions, the bureau citation system (including contest and compliance procedures and fine assessment methods), substantial-relationship and rehabilitation criteria for licensing decisions, and an advertising requirement that household movers include their bureau license number on advertisements and on each vehicle.
Yap also described work on proposed updates to upholstered-furniture and bedding label rules. In response to DCA regulatory counsel feedback, bureau staff split that regulatory package into two: a Section 100 (non-substantive/technical) proposal to reorganize and correct scattered definitions and technical amendments, and a separate substantive proposal to address label content, terminology, and templates. The Section 100 package was submitted to the Office of Administrative Law for final review in April 2025.
On legislation, Yap summarized AB 366, a bill that would make ignition interlock device (IID) court orders mandatory and remove an existing January 1, 2026 expiration; the Assembly committee passed the bill as amended on April 29 and referred it to appropriations.
Council members asked for printed copies of adopted mover regulations; bureau staff said the regulatory text is posted on the bureau website and offered to share a link and printed materials on request.
