Bill Summary

Amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law. Provides that, in conjunction with applications for licensure and renewals (rather than only for licensure), the Division of Professional Regulation of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shall request, and applicants may voluntarily provide, demographic information that includes sex, ethnicity, race, disability, primary language spoken, anticipated date of retirement, type of employment, and zip code (rather than only sex, ethnicity, race, and disability).

AI Summary

This bill amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law to expand the demographic information that can be voluntarily provided by applicants when applying for or renewing professional licenses. Currently, applicants can provide information about sex, ethnicity, race, and disability; the bill would add primary language spoken, anticipated date of retirement, type of employment, and zip code to this list of optional demographic data. The bill also requires the Department to publish an annual report on its website by March 1st of each year, which will include the collected demographic information, the number of licensure and renewal applications received, and the number of applicants denied licensure in the previous calendar year. This expanded data collection could help the department better understand the professional workforce's composition and potential barriers to entry or licensure, while ensuring that providing such information remains entirely voluntary for applicants.
