Bill > SB0016

This bill creates the Office of Professional Licensure Review within the Department of Commerce. The office is tasked with conducting "sunrise reviews" of proposed new regulated occupations and periodic reviews of existing regulated occupations. The bill establishes criteria for the office to consider in these reviews, such as the necessity of regulation to protect public health, safety, and financial welfare, the potential impact on the supply of practitioners, and the costs of regulation. The office must report annually to the Business and Labor Interim Committee on its activities. The bill also allows the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing to implement competency-based licensing alternatives to certain time-based requirements.
