Although the CBA had originally anticipated that licensees would have the opportunity to start applying for a retired license status beginning January 1, 2013, a need has arisen that required the CBA to modify the regulations and push this date back until July 1, 2014. The reason for this delay is because of the transition by all Department of Consumer Affairs' boards and bureaus to a new electronic licensing and enforcement system known as BreEZe.

The CBA regrets any inconvenience this delay may cause. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact the License Renewal/Continuing Competency Unit by telephone at (916) 561-1702 or by e-mail at renewalinfo@cba.ca.gov.
