The bill amends the law regarding the responsibilities of occupational licensing entities in Arkansas. It specifically repeals the requirement for these entities to submit an annual report detailing the number of individuals granted automatic and expedited occupational licensure. This change aims to streamline the reporting process and reduce administrative burdens on licensing entities.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for occupational licensing entities to post a link on their websites titled "Military Member Licensure," which will provide relevant information for individuals seeking licensure under the specified code. The previous requirement to provide a report to the House Committee on Aging, Children and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs has been removed, reflecting a shift in focus towards enhancing accessibility of information for military members rather than reporting statistics.
