AI Summary

This bill amends several sections of Idaho Code to revise licensing, fee, and administrative provisions across multiple professional boards and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. The most significant change is the addition of new reporting requirements for the division regarding board and commission cash balances. Specifically, the division must now prepare quarterly reports on revenues and expenditures for each board and commission, and an annual year-end report detailing cash balances. If a board's cash balance exceeds 150% of its five-year average expenditures, the division must present a plan to reduce the balance, such as through fee reductions. Conversely, if a board's cash balance falls below 30% of its five-year average, the division must propose a plan to address the low balance. The bill also makes various technical amendments to licensing terms, changing some annual licenses to biennial licenses, adjusting fee structures, and updating language across different professional licensing chapters. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, with one section specifically set to take effect on July 1, 2028, providing a phased implementation of the new requirements.
