State and Consumer Services
Major Accomplishments in 2006-07

Initiatives implemented on an ongoing basis in 2006-07 include the following:

iLicensing System-The 2006-07 Budget includes $1.3 million (various special funds) to establish an iLicensing System that will make online data available to licensees and applicants of all programs overseen by the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). This system will provide increased accessibility to licensing information for more than 2.3 million licensees and make it more convenient for them to obtain and maintain their licenses, and provide online payment of associated licensing fees.

Consumer Assistance Program-The 2006-07 Budget includes $7.5 million (various special funds) for the Bureau of Automotive Repair to support two consumer assistance programs: the Smog Check Repair Assistance Program and the Vehicle Retirement Program. This funding compensates vehicle owners that agree to destroy their high-polluting vehicles and provides assistance to low-income consumers in obtaining and making needed repairs, to meet California's smog check requirements.

Employment Discrimination Caseload-The 2006-07 Budget provides $1 million General Fund for additional employment discrimination enforcement. This augmentation will improve access to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing's services, shorten waiting time for appointments, and enhance the department's ability to fulfill its mission.
