Bill Summary
A BILL To help States combat abuse of occupational licensing laws by economic incumbents, to promote competition, to en- courage innovation, to protect consumers, and to facili- tate the restoration of antitrust immunity to State occu- pational boards, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Restoring Board Immunity Act of 2021 or the RBI Act, aims to help states combat abuse of occupational licensing laws by economic incumbents, promote competition, encourage innovation, and protect consumers. It provides two alternative routes for states to achieve antitrust immunity for their occupational licensing boards - either by establishing a mechanism for meaningful active supervision of licensing boards by state officials or by establishing a mechanism for meaningful judicial review of board actions in state courts. The bill defines key terms like "certification," "lawful occupation," "least restrictive regulation," and "occupational licensing board," and outlines specific requirements for states to qualify for the antitrust immunity under the active supervision or judicial review approaches.
