AI Summary
This bill modifies several Indiana laws related to professional licensing, primarily by extending the timeframe for state agencies to determine if a violation has been substantially corrected from 30 days to 90 days after certain events, and by adding new certification language for license renewals. It also allows certain boards to set different fine amounts for individuals and businesses facing disciplinary actions, and makes specific changes to the boards governing cosmetology and barber examiners, hearing aid dealers, and respiratory care. Additionally, the bill prohibits certain individuals from owning an interest in an appraisal management company and repeals an existing chapter on the professional licensing agency's duties, merging those responsibilities into another chapter.
