HOUSE BILL 705
Law
Occupational licensing reform
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING REFORM – Adds to existing law to provide for the efficient renewal of occupational licenses.
RS31611 / H0705
This bill continues Idaho’s work towards occupational licensure reform. The vast majority of licenses require licensees to take certain continuing education credits in order to renew their license. This legislation reforms, overhauls, and streamlines continuing education requirements, and directs licensing authorities to review their administrative rules to eliminate or modify any continuing education provisions that would conflict with the changes in this bill.
There is no fiscal impact to this bill. Any reduction of continuing education requirements will not impact the revenue for the licensing boards as no licensing board offers continuing education classes.
