§ 24306

If the board of supervisors in counties having a population of 4,000,000 or more persons, consolidates two or more offices pursuant to statute or charter, the occupant of the consolidated office need not possess any of the qualifications required of the occupant of any of the separate offices which are consolidated if:

(a) No qualification applies to all of the offices consolidated; and

(b) The board finds that sufficient personnel possessing the qualifications required are employed in the consolidated office to assure that decisions made by the occupant of the office are based upon competent professional advice.

This section does not permit the occupant of such consolidated office to practice any profession or trade for the practice of which a license, permit or registration is required without such license, permit, or registration.
