Section 10083.2.

(a) The commissioner shall provide on the Internet information regarding the status of every license issued by the department in accordance with the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) and the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1798) of Title 1.8 of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code). The public information to be provided on the Internet shall include information on suspensions and revocations of licenses issued by the department and accusations filed pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) relative to persons or businesses subject to licensure or regulation by the department. The information shall not include personal information, including home telephone number, date of birth, or social security number. The commissioner shall disclose a licensee's address of record. However, the commissioner shall allow a licensee to provide a post office box number or other alternate address, instead of his or her home address, as the address of record. This section shall not preclude the commissioner from also requiring a licensee who has provided a post office box number or other alternative mailing address as his or her address of record to provide a physical business address or residence address only for the department's internal administrative use and not for disclosure as the licensee's address of record or disclosure on the Internet.

(b) For purposes of this section, "Internet" has the meaning set forth in paragraph (6) of subdivision (f) of Section 17538.
