Board hears legislative updates; public education committee plans newsletter and outreach
Summary
Board members reviewed legislative language under consideration affecting scope and fees and the public education committee described newsletter and social media outreach plans; staff said a bill (referred to in the transcript as “b 15 o 1”) would affect renewal and examination requirements and extend a sunset date.
Board members and staff reviewed recent legislative developments and public education plans.
On legislation, staff described a bill referenced in the transcript as "b 15 o 1" that had moved to the business and professions committee; the presentation noted text changes affecting scope and fee provisions. Staff said the bill would remove a 10‑exam requirement referenced in the current text, adjust renewal/assessment provisions, and included language tied to Business and Professions Code (the transcript cited "24 74" which staff attached for reference). Staff indicated the bill was moving through the legislative process and that if signed the change would affect the board’s authority through an extended sunset (the transcript referenced an extension to January 2030). Board members asked about specifics and staff said some details remained to be finalized.
On public education, Kathleen Cooper presented the public education committee report and said the committee plans to finalize a newsletter by September 30, 2025, and is soliciting article ideas and content focused on DPM issues in California. Staff said they are updating the website, Facebook and Twitter accounts and are evaluating whether to reintroduce an Instagram presence; they also noted challenges in reaching all licensees because not everyone is signed up on the board’s contact list.
Board members did not take a formal position at this meeting on the bill text; the legislative updates were informational and board staff will continue to monitor and report back on developments.
