California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 3 — Professions and Vocations GenerallyChapter 12 — Cemetery and Funeral ActArticle 6 — Disciplinary ProceedingsSection 7686.5

All accusations against licensees shall be filed with the bureau within two years after the performance of the act or omission alleged as the ground for disciplinary action; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not constitute a defense to an accusation alleging fraud or misrepresentation as a ground for disciplinary action. The cause for disciplinary action in such case shall not be deemed to have accrued until discovery, by the bureau, of the facts constituting the fraud or misrepresentation, and, in such case, the accusation shall be filed within three years after such discovery.

Notes

Limits filing of accusations against licensees to two years after the alleged disciplinary act or omission. Fraud or misrepresentation allegations are not barred by that rule; for those allegations, the disciplinary cause accrues when the bureau discovers the relevant facts, and the accusation must be filed within three years after discovery.
