Idaho Bills

Repeals and adds to existing law to provide for certain reporting requirements to be made by state agencies that are licensing authorities.

This legislation will provide objective information to the legislature and to the public on the number of complaints and disciplinary actions taken by Idaho licensing agencies. Complaints and discipline serve proxies for Public Safety in published literature. Having this objective information reported to the Legislature will assist in our efforts to cut red tape in the area of Occupational Licensure reform.

Amends existing law to provide for certain occupational licensing policy and to provide for universal occupational licensing practice authority.

This legislation prohibits the creation of a new license by rule or policy unless authorized by statute. It requires that all licensing fees be established through rule instead of solely by the Director or a Department. It allows for universal licensing practice for licensed professionals to perform acts consistent with their education, training, and experience.
