Home furnishings: inspections: compensation.

Abstract

Existing law, the Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of various manufacturers, sellers, upholsterers, and sanitizers of home furnishings, such as furniture and bedding. The act is enforced by the Chief of the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation. Existing law authorizes the chief or any inspector to open any article of upholstered furniture or bedding for the purpose of inspection and to take any part for analysis. Existing law also authorizes the bureau to condemn, withhold from sale, seize, or destroy any upholstered furniture or bedding or any filling material or insulation that is found to be in violation of the act. This bill would delete the provisions authorizing the chief or any inspector to take articles of upholstered furniture or bedding, or parts thereof, for the purposes of analysis and would instead authorize the bureau to purchase any article of upholstered furniture or bedding as may be necessary for analysis, as specified. The bill would require the bureau to adopt regulations to implement these provisions.
