Shannon: 

If it is helpful to know this, the law currently requires the schools and instructors provide graduate information to the Board.  SB 1491 (Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee) would not change this requirement.  What the Board receives is the name, address, graduate status (graduated, dropped from class), and guide dog name.  Licensed instructors not affiliated with California schools are also required by law, to provide the same information to the Board.  The current statutes and regulations for this reporting requirement is provided below. 

Current Law 
Business and Profession Code Section 
7210.7.  The board may authorize schools licensed by the board or instructors employed by those schools to provide home training in the use of guide dogs.  If a school desires to provide home training in the use of guide dogs, it shall apply to the board and provide the board with a written plan and procedure for conducting that home training, which shall be approved by the board prior to conducting any home training.  Schools providing home training in the use of guide dogs shall, annually, provide the board with the names and addresses of those persons who are receiving home training and shall include those persons who have received home training from the school subsequent to the last report filed with the board.


Business and Professions Code Section 
7217.  (a) Within 60 days after the end of a calendar year or after the termination of the fiscal year of a school, there shall be
furnished to the board the following:
  (1) A list of students accepted for training and those who have completed training.
  (2) A list of the number of dogs trained.
