Three professional licenses were issued in zip code 94551 during the week ending June 20, according to California’s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). In the previous week, there was one license issued, marking a 200 percent increase week over week.

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.
