One professional license was issued in zip code 93306 during the week ending October 17, according to California’s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). In the previous week, no licenses were issued.

The DCA is composed of several agencies, bureaus, and commissions that influence business growth and job creation through regulation. The agency has roots that date back to 1876 when California passed the Medical Practice Act of 1876. Today the agency issues more than 280 license types including certificates, registrations, and permits.
