The bill mandates the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing to collaborate with various state boards, commissions, and other entities identified in a recent licensure renewal and fee study to establish uniform licensure fees for professional licenses, permits, and certifications. This initiative aims to create a standardized fee structure across different tiers of licenses, enhancing consistency and transparency in the licensing process.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that within 18 months of its effective date, the department must submit a regulatory analysis of the proposed rules necessary for implementing these uniform fees, provided that the department is legally authorized to set fees by rule. This process is intended to streamline the licensing system and ensure that fees are equitable and reflective of the services provided.
