| SB 185 | Relative to Office Of Professional Licensure and Certification Investigations. The bill discussed focuses on amending licensing statutes and shifting certain responsibilities to the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC), in line with prior legislation. It primarily serves as a housekeeping bill to address updates from bills passed in the previous session. The committee will review the bill in an executive session, though a date for that session is yet to be determined. Online votes on the bill were split, with 2 in support and 2 opposed. The bill appears to be a technical adjustment, but with notable concerns raised regarding specific sections, particularly related to licensing and disciplinary actions by land surveyors and electricians. |
