AMENDMENT #1 rewrites this bill to add to present law concerning eligibility for licenses and permits issued by the alcoholic beverage commission.
To be eligible for a professional or commercial license, present law generally requires that an applicant must show that the applicant is either a U.S. citizen or authorized under federal law to work in the U.S. as verified by the SAVE program. This bill adds that to be eligible for a professional license or permit issued by the alcoholic beverage commission, an applicant may instead show that the applicant has a valid J-1 or F-1 student visa.
