Bill > SB387

This bill repeals the requirement for occupational licensing entities in Arkansas to submit an annual report detailing the number of individuals granted automatic and expedited occupational licensure. Currently, these licensing entities must submit such a report to the House Committee on Aging, Children and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs. The bill maintains other existing requirements for licensing entities, such as submitting proposed rules to the Administrative Rules Subcommittee for review, providing automatic licensure when rules are not approved, and posting a "Military Member Licensure" link on their website. The term "automatic occupational licensure" typically refers to a streamlined process for granting professional licenses to certain individuals, such as military spouses or veterans, without requiring them to complete the standard full licensing procedure. By removing the reporting requirement, the bill aims to reduce administrative burden on licensing entities while preserving the core provisions related to military member licensure.
