Summary

The bill lets the California Insurance Commissioner issue insurance agent licenses to vendors that sell optical products, just as they already do for portable electronics. It adds application fees, training, disclosure, and penalty requirements for those vendors and their sales staff. The change creates a state‑mandated program but says local agencies won’t be reimbursed for any costs.
