This bill died with 2021 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill AB 391 introduces a requirement for a two-thirds majority vote for certain provisions, which is significant because it may make it more challenging to pass those parts of the bill. Additionally, the Governor is now required to appoint a replacement member if there's a vacancy on the board, which ensures that the board remains fully staffed and functional. Other changes clarify the qualifications for licensing and reorganize provisions related to the training and supervision of apprentice dispensing opticians. These adjustments aim to improve the regulation of the profession and ensure that practitioners meet consistent standards.
