The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 773, aims to amend Title 20 of the general statutes by eliminating application review fees for health care professionals and establishing a maximum licensure fee of two hundred dollars for those licensed by the Department of Public Health. This legislative change is intended to reduce the financial burden on health care professionals seeking licensure, thereby promoting access to the profession.
The bill reflects a commitment to improving the regulatory environment for health care professionals by removing existing application review fees and capping licensure costs. By doing so, it seeks to streamline the licensing process and make it more affordable, ultimately supporting the health care workforce in the state.
