AND PROFESSIONS CODE TO PREEMPT LOCAL

WHEREAS, the City recognizes that the State Department of Consumer Affairs shall
have the authority to establish fundamental regulatory policies and set minimum
standards for licensed professions; and

the enforcement of local police powers; and
WHEREAS, the authority and responsibility to regulate the operation of business and
professions, when appropriate to address local concerns and issues as necessary,
should remain a function of local government-
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES
