Bill > SB185

This bill establishes new time limits for investigations conducted by the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) concerning allegations of professional misconduct. Specifically, within 30 days of receiving a complaint, the OPLC must determine if the allegation, on its face, constitutes professional misconduct. If it does, the OPLC then has 90 days to complete its investigation and report its findings to the relevant board at its next scheduled meeting. If an investigation is not completed within this 90-day period, the board can, at its discretion, either instruct the OPLC to continue the investigation or make a final determination on the claim within an additional 60 days. This change is intended to streamline the investigation process and is set to take effect for the OPLC's investigation procedures on March 1, 2026, with other provisions becoming effective 60 days after passage.
