Summary

(1) Existing law governs professions and vocations that are regulated by various boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires those boards, the State Bar of California, and the Department of Real Estate to require a licensee, at the time of issuance of a license, to provide specified information, including his or her social security number or individual taxpayer identification number. Existing law provides that the applicant's social security number or individual taxpayer identification number information is not a public record and is not open to the public for inspection. This bill would prohibit a licensing board from requiring an individual to disclose either citizenship status or immigration status for purposes of licensure, or from denying licensure to an otherwise qualified and eligible individual based solely on his or her citizenship status or immigration status. (2) Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to, among other duties, establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits. Existing law requires the commission to adopt regulations requiring every applicant for a credential, or for the renewal of a credential, to submit reasonable evidence of identification and good moral character. This bill, among other things, would require the commission, no later than July 1, 2019, to authorize the use of an individual tax identification number in lieu of a social security number for purposes of applying for a credential, or the renewal of a credential, when an applicant cannot provide his or her social security number. (3) Existing law obligates a parent to support his or her child. Existing law establishes the Department of Child Support Services within the California Health and Human Services Agency, which administers services and performs functions necessary to establish, collect, and distribute child support. Existing law requires each county to maintain a local child support agency that has the responsibility, among other things, to promptly and effectively establish, modify, and enforce child support obligations. Existing federal law requires the state and county to maintain specified personal information on obligors, including taxpayer identification numbers or other uniform identification numbers for the purposes of administering and enforcing child support obligations. This bill would modify the personal information of obligors required to be maintained by the state and county to include individual taxpayer identification numbers or other uniform identification numbers, and would make other conforming changes. By increasing the administrative obligations placed on local child support agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (4) Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of various clinical laboratory personnel and health care professionals, including, but not limited to, the Certified Hemodialysis Technician, certified nurse assistant, certified home health aide, and radiologic technician, by the State Department of Public Health, and makes a violation of those provisions a crime. This bill would require the State Department of Public Health, no later than July 1, 2019, to require an applicant to provide either the individual taxpayer identification number or social security number for purposes of applying for a certificate or the renewal of a certificate, as specified. The bill, among other things, would prohibit the State Department of Public Health from requiring an applicant to disclose citizenship status or immigration status for purposes of licensure, or from denying licensure to an otherwise qualified and eligible applicant based solely on his or her citizenship status or immigration status. (5) Existing law, the Emergency Medical Services System and the Prehospital Emergency Medical Care Personnel Act, establishes the Emergency Medical Services Authority (authority) , which is responsible for establishing training, scope of practice, and continuing education for emergency medical technicians and other prehospital personnel, including Emergency Medical Technician-I (EMT-I) , Emergency Medical Technician-II (EMT-II) , and Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P) , and makes a violation of these provisions a crime. Existing law authorizes each county to designate an emergency medical services (EMS) agency, for the establishment and administration of an emergency medical services program, including the licensure of emergency medical technicians, in the county. Existing law provides for the authority's sole responsibility to license and regulate paramedics. This bill would require the authority, no later than July 1, 2019, to require an applicant to provide either the individual taxpayer identification number or social security number for purposes of applying for a certificate or the renewal certificate with the authority, local EMS agency, or certifying entity. The bill, among other things, would prohibit the authority, local EMS agency, and certifying entity from requiring an applicant to disclose citizenship status or immigration status for purposes of licensure, or from denying certification to an otherwise qualified and eligible applicant based solely on his or her citizenship status or immigration status. Because a willful violation of requirements related to the application for a certificate or the renewal of a certificate issued by the State Department of Public Health, the authority, or the local EMS agency would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (6) The bill would state the Legislature's intent to utilize the individual taxpayer identification number or social security number for the purpose of establishing identification of persons applying for individual certificates or credentials. The bill would make a related finding and declaration. (7) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 30 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 3249 to be operative only if this bill and AB 3249 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (8) 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 with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
