Bill Summary

This bill relates to licensure fees for professional licenses, permits, and certifications. The bill requires the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing (department) to consult with each board, commission, committee, council, and other entity of state government identified in the licensure renewal and fee study (study) issued by the department to propose uniform licensure fees for each license in a tier identified in the study. The bill requires the department to, not later than 18 months after the effective date of the bill, submit a regulatory analysis of proposed rules as necessary to implement the uniform licensure fee proposed for licenses in a tier, if adopting the fee by rule is otherwise authorized by law.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing (DIAL) to work with various state government boards, commissions, and councils to develop standardized licensure fees across different professional license tiers. Based on a previously conducted licensure renewal and fee study, DIAL will propose uniform fees for licenses in each identified tier. Within 18 months of the bill's effective date, the department must submit a regulatory analysis of proposed rules to the administrative code editor, outlining the new uniform fees for licenses. This analysis can only be submitted for license types where the department or a related entity is legally authorized to set fees by rule. The bill broadly defines "license" to include licenses, permits, and certifications, ensuring a comprehensive approach to fee standardization across professional licensing categories. The goal appears to be creating more consistent and transparent fee structures for professional licenses in the state of Iowa.
