This bill proposes the creation of a new chapter in Title 43 of the North Dakota Century Code, which outlines the responsibilities of occupational and professional boards regarding licensing complaints. It mandates that each board adopt rules to implement the chapter and submit an annual report to the governor detailing board activities, including the number of licenses issued, applicants, and former licensees who failed to renew. Additionally, boards are required to provide instructions on their websites for submitting complaints following adverse licensing decisions.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a new section in Chapter 54-07, which requires the governor to develop a procedure for individuals to submit complaints regarding adverse decisions made by boards or their members. The governor is also tasked with creating a process to investigate these complaints. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability within occupational and professional licensing processes in North Dakota.
