Starting January 1, 2013, new business licenses in California will cost $1 more. Seventy percent of the funds collected from this increase will cover the cost of recruiting and training certified access specialists to help business owners make their locations more accessible to persons with disabilities. This program will be administered by local governments. Thirty percent of the funds will be used by the office of the State Architect to oversee testing and certification of these local specialists.
There will also be new language on the business licenses to educate about what programs are available for business and property owners and to reinforce the importance of making all businesses accessible.
