The Board of Licensure of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors, the Board of Nursing, and the Board of Pharmacy are the state's only three regulatory licensure boards that are compelled by statute or rule to hire a licensee as their executive director. This bill will allow these boards to hire a licensee if the board wishes, but does not mandate it.
