Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians by the Veterinary Medical Board. This bill would enact, until January 1, 2017, provisions governing the voluntary certification of pet groomers and creating the California Pet Grooming Council, a nonprofit organization exempt from taxation, as specified, to administer the certification process. The bill would make it an unfair business practice for any person engaged in pet grooming to advertise or hold himself or herself out as a registered, certified, or licensed pet groomer without being certified and regulated by the council. The bill would establish the requirements necessary to obtain a certificate as a pet groomer or a pet bather and brusher and set forth the duties and obligations of a certified pet groomer or a pet bather and brusher, as specified. The bill would set forth the duties of the council with regard to the regulation of pet groomers and pet bathers and brushers and require the board to adopt a fee schedule that would apply to certificate holders. The bill would set forth standards for denial, suspension, or revocation of a certificate for a violation of these provisions.
