 BILL NUMBER: AB 214AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN SENATE JUNE 30, 2011 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Davis JANUARY 31, 2011 An act to amend Section 22457 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to business. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 214, as amended, Davis. Professional photocopiers. Existing law provides for regulation of professional photocopiers, including a requirement for issuance of an identification card by the county clerk.  Under existing law, additional cards for employees of professional photocopiers are issued upon the payment of $10.  This bill would  instead authorize those additional cards to be issued upon the payment of an amount sufficient to cover the regulatory costs associated with issuance of the cards. The bill would  require the identification card for an employee of a professional photocopier or a partnership or corporation to contain a photograph of the employee. By imposing additional duties on county clerks, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
