The bill establishes a framework for the review and potential termination of occupational license requirements in Kansas. It defines "Agency" and "Occupational license," explicitly excluding certain healthcare regulatory boards and the state board of technical professions. The bill mandates that any occupational license requirement in effect as of July 1, 2025, will automatically terminate on July 1, 2030, unless the legislature acts to continue it. Additionally, any new occupational license requirements adopted after July 1, 2025, will also terminate five years after their effective date unless similarly continued by legislative action. The bill outlines a process for legislative review, requiring standing committees to assess the necessity and impact of these requirements before they can be extended.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any new occupational license requirement proposed by an agency after July 1, 2025, must receive legislative approval through a joint resolution before taking effect. Committees are tasked with conducting thorough reviews of proposed requirements, including analyses of public health and safety objectives, alternative measures, and the economic impact of the requirements. The Secretary of State is responsible for monitoring termination dates and notifying relevant parties, ensuring that any occupational license requirements not properly identified will remain in effect until reviewed by the legislature. This legislative oversight aims to ensure that occupational licensing remains relevant and does not impose unnecessary barriers to entry in various professions.
