3rd R Reading (House)
Licensing requirements, waivers
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding petitions for waivers of or variances from certain occupational licensing requirements and practices.

RS31598 / S1429

This legislation creates a process for licensed professionals to request a variance from their licensing authority for a waiver of a licensing requirement under certain circumstances. It establishes a process where the licensing authority can either approve or deny the petition request.

This legislation will have no impact on the general fund as licensing authorities are supported by the fees from the licensed professionals whom they regulate. This legislation will not have the impact of increasing licensing fees because the waiver requests are to be handled at regularly scheduled meetings.
