The mission of the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency (Agency) is to assist and educate consumers regarding the licensing, regulation, and enforcement of professionals and businesses in California. The Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012 provided for the consolidation of entities that license industries, business activities, and professionals. This consolidation improves service, consistency, and efficiency by facilitating shared administrative functions and expertise in areas such as automated systems, investigative practices, and licensing and legal processes. The Agency also provides a central location for the public to find information about entities regulating the businesses and professionals with whom they come into direct contact. The Agency is comprised of the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Department of Business Oversight, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Appeals Board, the California Horse Racing Board, and the Alfred E. Alquist Seismic Safety Commission.
