Proposed Bill No. 166, introduced by Senator Anwar of the 3rd District, aims to amend title 20 of the general statutes to reduce the initial licensing fee for health care professionals by twenty percent. This bill has been referred to the Committee on FINANCE, REVENUE AND BONDING during the February Session, 2024.

The purpose of the bill is straightforward: to make it less costly for health care professionals to obtain their initial license to practice by offering a twenty percent reduction in the fee. This legislative change would potentially lower the financial barrier for new health care professionals entering the workforce.
