Overview
This bill clarifies the definition of ‘close family member’ for public members serving on boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Currently, it prohibits public members from being current or past licensees or having close family members who are licensees. The bill expands the definition of ‘close family member’ to include a broader range of familial relationships, such as grandparents, grandchildren, and immediate in-laws. It also requires each board to create regulations to help determine when relationships outside of a parent-child connection would disqualify someone from serving on the board.
