AI Summary

This bill removes proof of citizenship or legal residency requirements for certain professional occupational licenses and allows for the submission of an individual taxpayer identification number for certain occupational license or permit applications. Specifically, the bill amends various statutes to remove citizenship or legal residency requirements for licenses related to pawnbrokers, insurance agents, adjusters, bail bondsmen, employee leasing contractors, optometrists, physicians, physical therapists, collection agencies, real estate brokers, and real estate appraisers. Instead, applicants can provide an individual taxpayer identification number rather than a social security number for these licenses.
