The bill amends the Skilled Trades Regulation Act by adding a new section, 222, which establishes a framework for issuing emeritus licenses to individuals who have retired from practicing an occupation regulated under the act. To qualify for an emeritus license, applicants must submit a specific application form, demonstrate that they were previously licensed and in good standing, and acknowledge that they will not engage in the practice of their former occupation.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals holding an emeritus license must not use any terms associated with their previous license without including the designation "emeritus." This provision aims to clarify the status of retired professionals while ensuring that they do not misrepresent their ability to practice in their respective fields.
