California Process servers might soon have to register with the State Bar

This is interesting, in California, soon process servers may have to register with the state bar.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2286, as introduced, Wagner. Process servers.

Existing law requires process servers to register with the county clerk where he or she resides or has a principal place of business. Existing law also requires any corporation or partnership that derives compensation from service of process in this state to register with the county clerk where the corporation or partnership has its principal place of business. Existing law requires the county clerk to retain the certificate of registration, as specified. Existing law also requires the county clerk to receive Live Scan fingerprint results and the presiding judge of the superior court is authorized to review the criminal record of registrants convicted of a felony and to take appropriate action, as specified. Existing law also requires the county clerk to provide a variety of administrative services pertaining to the registration of process servers.
Existing law, the State Bar Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of attorneys by the State Bar of California, a public corporation.

This sounds smart. Does that mean we get "SBN's" from the State Bar? Then the Calif. State Bar can issue me a card, and we won't have to wait in line at the weapons screening station at the courthouses?
