Chico Times

Three professional licenses were issued in Chico during the third quarter of 2020, according to California’s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). In the previous quarter, there was one license issued, marking a 200 percent increase quarter over quarter.

Chico had the most professional licenses issued in the area.

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.
