The Assembly Business and Professions Committee advanced four separate non-cannabis bills on April 14, moving measures on behavioral-health licensing, pharmacy delivery, compounded GLP-1 drugs and health-club fees.
AB 1598, by Assemblymember Quirk Silva, would extend licensing timelines for California behavioral-health professionals and add a one-time hardship extension. The bill would give applicants more time to complete supervised experience, qualify for exams and renew associate registrations, according to the committee transcript summarized in the meeting audio.[^1]
AB 1794, by Assemblymember Ransom, would let prescribed intral nutrition formulas be delivered directly to patients’ homes. AB 1990, by Assemblymember Gibson, would add safety and truth-in-advertising requirements for compounded GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. AB 2402, by Assemblymember Berner, would update health studio fee rules and remove an outdated annual contract cap.
The committee’s April 14 hearing covered a much broader agenda, but these four bills were distinct enough to warrant separate coverage from the cannabis package that dominated much of the session. The transcript summary indicates the measures moved forward, although the excerpt is truncated before every final roll call detail is fully visible.[^1]
