Bill > SB227

This bill standardizes and simplifies administrative procedures for various professional licensing boards in Montana by eliminating individual board seals and reducing redundant organizational language. Specifically, the bill removes requirements for boards to have unique seals, simplifies language around document authentication, and clarifies board responsibilities across multiple professional licensing statutes, including those for medicine, optometry, acupuncture, speech-language pathology, veterinary medicine, real estate, landscape architecture, and electrical contracting. The changes primarily involve removing references to specific board seals, modifying language about board proceedings and document certification, and streamlining administrative rules. The bill repeals several sections of existing law related to board organization and seals, effectively creating more uniform and concise regulations for professional licensing boards. These changes aim to reduce bureaucratic complexity and standardize administrative procedures across different professional licensing entities in the state.
