California Business and Professions Code Statutory History
California Business and Professions Code Statutory History
Business and Professions Code: Established formally in 1937, the Legislature consolidated and revised the laws to regulate and protect private businesses and licensed professions and professionals, and established penalties for violations. In many cases, the new code merely restated and continued prior acts and statutory provisions on the same subject. Thus, sections of the B&P Code can be traced to older acts relating to specific professions and to the 1872 codes, such as the former Political Code.
