Bill > HB05782

This bill proposes to establish a task force with the specific purpose of identifying occupational and professional licenses in the state that meet two key criteria: first, the licenses must have an associated state-imposed fee, and second, the licenses must not have any additional state requirements such as educational training or professional certification. The task force would essentially conduct an inventory of licensing practices to determine which professional licenses might be overly simplistic or potentially unnecessary, focusing on those that only require a fee payment without demonstrating a clear need for professional standards or qualifications. By creating this task force, the bill aims to potentially streamline or review the state's current occupational licensing framework, potentially identifying opportunities to reduce bureaucratic barriers or unnecessary licensing fees for certain professions.
