Kern County Times

One professional license was issued in El Monte during October, according to California’s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). In the previous month, no licenses were issued.

Two cities, Whittier and Bakersfield, had the most professional licenses issued in the area with three each.

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.
