Structural Pest Control Board.Existing law establishes the Structural Pest Control Board within the Department of Consumer Affairs, requires the board to license and regulate structural pest control operators, as specified, and authorizes the board to appoint a registrar to be the executive officer and secretary of the board. Existing law repeals those provisions on January 1, 2024, at which time the board is subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature. Existing law makes a violation of provisions regulating structural pest control operators a misdemeanor.This bill would extend the operation of the board and the authority to appoint a registrar to January 1, 2028. Because this bill would expand the application of an existing crime by extending the above-described misdemeanor, this bill would create 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
