- (B) CAC staff described above, needing refresher training due to limited experience in structural use monitoring inspections or structural pest control business headquarters inspections.
If the number of CAC staff requesting to attend Structural Regulatory Training exceeds space limits, staff in category (A) above and in the northern and central regions will be given priority.

No Reimbursement:
DPR through an interagency agreement with the SPCB receives a designated amount of funds for the structural training and for payments to CACs for structural enforcement actions. In recent years, this fund has been more rapidly exhausted due to increased county enforcement reimbursement payments.
Consequently, DPR will not be reimbursing CAC staff to attend this Structural Regulatory Training for lodging, meals, tolls, mileage, etc. However, counties not able to send any staff to the training due to financial hardship are encouraged to contact our structural liaison, Roberta Jetter at 916-323-3197 or Roberta.Jetter@cdpr.ca.gov.

Participants failing to attend the complete course will not receive a certificate of completion.
Structural regulatory training is provided in accordance with Business and Professions Code Section 8616 which requires DPR and the SPCB to jointly develop a training program specifically relating to the various aspects of structural pest control for the CAC staff involved in structural pest control investigations and enforcement.
