AB 742: Department of Consumer Affairs: licensing: applicants who are descendants of slaves.
What AB 742 does, verified March 9, 2026
The bill would expedite the licensure process for applicants who are descendants of American slaves. This would be done by requiring the state's licensing boards to expedite the process once a certification process for descendants of American slaves is implemented. The provisions would only be operative if a specific measure establishing the bureau for descendants of American slavery is enacted. The licensure provisions would be repealed after 4 years or on January 1, 2032, whichever is earlier.
