Amends and adds to existing law to provide for attorney licensure by the Idaho Supreme Court, to prohibit additional methods of demonstrating competency to qualify for universal licensure, to provide for conditional licensure under certain conditions, and to provide for universal work recognition.

Consistent with the Governors Occupational Licensing Reform Act, the legislation creates a universal work recognition licensure pathway for individuals with four years of work experience in the military, another state, district, or territory of the United States that does not require a license to regulate that person’s profession or occupation but for which Idaho uses a license to regulate a profession or occupation. The bill removes outdated methods of establishing competency for licensure and clarifies that a board or commission decision related to a criminal conviction must be relevant to the occupation and license requested.
