Version:

Existing law establishes various boards, including advisory boards, commissions, examining committees, committees, or other similarly constituted bodies, within the Department of Consumer Affairs for the licensure and regulation of various professions and vocations. Existing law prohibits a public member of a board from being a current or past licensee of that board or a close family member of a licensee of that board.

This bill would define close family member for purposes of that provision to mean a parent, stepparent, sibling, child by blood, adoption, or marriage, spouse, domestic partner, cohabitant, stepchild, immediate in-law, aunt, uncle, first cousin, grandparent, or grandchild.

Existing law, the Massage Therapy Act, requires the protection of the public to be the highest priority for the California Massage Therapy Council in exercising any of its functions, as specified.This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
