Official summary
Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.
Existing law, the Occupational Therapy Practice Act, establishes the California Board of Occupational Therapy for the licensure and regulation of the practice of occupational therapy. Existing law requires the board to meet and hold at least one regular meeting annually in the Cities of Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Existing law repeals the provisions establishing the board on January 1, 2027, and, upon the repeal of those provisions, renders the board subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature.
This bill would extend the provision establishing the board to January 1, 2031, and would, instead, require the board to meet at least 3 times a year, meeting at least once each calendar year in northern California and once each calendar year in southern California.
This bill would require an applicant or licensee to provide the board with their electronic mail address and would require the board to remind licensees and applicants of their obligation to report and keep current their electronic mail address, as provided.
Existing law requires the board to establish certain fees, which are deposited into the Occupational Therapy Fund, including a limited permit fee.
This bill would limit the limited permit fee to $125 and would require the board to establish a license fee for a pocket card, a duplicate wall certificate, and a letter of good standing, endorsements, or verification of licensure, as provided.
Existing law specifies that the Occupational Therapy Practice Act does not prevent or restrict the practice, services, or activities of, among others, any person pursuing a supervised course of study leading to a degree or certificate in occupational therapy at an accredited education program, as provided.
