Bill > HB05165

This bill proposes to modify state licensing procedures by requiring professionals and occupational license holders to prove they have paid all personal property taxes related to property used in their work before they can renew their professional or occupational licenses. Specifically, the bill mandates that no state board, office, or agency can renew a professional or occupational license unless the applicant demonstrates that they do not owe any taxes on personal property used in their professional capacity. This means that professionals such as doctors, lawyers, contractors, or other licensed practitioners would need to show proof of tax payment on equipment, tools, vehicles, or other assets they use in their work as a precondition for maintaining their license. The bill aims to ensure tax compliance by linking license renewal directly to the payment of relevant personal property taxes, potentially creating an additional incentive for professionals to keep their tax obligations current.
