AI Summary
This bill establishes a maximum charge of one hundred dollars for various occupational licenses, certifications, permits, and registrations issued by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. The bill systematically reduces fees across multiple professional categories, including certified public accountants, professional engineers, landscape architects, real estate brokers, pharmacists, and many others. These reductions apply to initial licensing, renewal fees, and application fees, effectively capping the cost at $100 per license or certification year. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Consumer Protection develop regulations by July 1, 2026 to ensure compliance with this fee limitation, with an exception for licenses issued under Title 30 of the general statutes. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aim to reduce the financial burden on professionals seeking or maintaining various state-issued licenses and certifications.
