This bill amends the Occupational Code by modifying Section 314 to enhance the continuing education requirements for certain occupations. It specifies that a board is responsible for recommending the approval or recognition of continuing education programs required by an article, unless the board itself is tasked with granting that approval.

Additionally, the bill allows for 100% of the continuing education requirements to be fulfilled through online or electronic media. It mandates that any online or electronic continuing education program must adhere to standards established by the department in consultation with the relevant board. This change aims to increase accessibility and flexibility for professionals seeking to meet their continuing education obligations.
