The bill amends the Occupational Licensing Reform Act by repealing the existing Section 67-9407 of the Idaho Code and replacing it with a new section that establishes specific reporting requirements for state agencies that serve as licensing authorities. The new Section 67-9407 outlines definitions for terms such as "agency," "credible complaint," "quality-related violation," and "technical violation." It mandates that starting with the fiscal year 2027, agencies must include detailed information in their annual performance reports, including the total number of licensees, new licenses issued, denied applications, renewals, non-renewals, credible complaints, and final disciplinary actions against licensees.

Additionally, the bill specifies that for disciplinary actions reported, agencies must detail the type of action taken, the nature of violations, and provide a brief, de-identified summary of quality-related violations for public understanding. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
