Board Position on Legislation that Failed Passage

The following are Board positions on legislation that did not pass.

AB 446 (Negrete McLeod) - Licensees: Settlement Agreements

• Position: Support
  This bill would prohibit a licensee from including any term in a civil settlement that prohibits the other party from filing a complaint with, or otherwise cooperating with the Board of Behavioral Sciences. It would also allow the board to pursue disciplinary action against a licensee who permits a so called "gag clause" to be included in a settlement agreement.

AB 1625 (Klehs) - Signature of State Government Report

• Position: None
  This bill would require any report to a legislative or executive entity to be signed by the executive officer, an agency head or board chair that the contents are true, accurate, and complete, subject to a misdemeanor penalty.
