House Bill 1095 proposes comprehensive changes to the administration of occupational boards by the office of professional licensure and certification in New Hampshire. The bill amends existing laws across various professions, including those related to substance use professionals, barbering, cosmetology, esthetics, manicuring, tanning facilities, body art practitioners, chiropractic professionals, dentistry, dietetics, electrologists, funeral directors, embalmers, medical imaging, radiation therapy, naturopathic health care, nursing, occupational therapy, ophthalmic dispensing, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, accountancy, architecture, auctioneering, electricians, foresters, geologists, home inspectors, land surveyors, landscape architects, and veterinary practice. The amendments involve shifting responsibilities from individual boards to the office of professional licensure and certification, updating licensure and certification processes, and ensuring that terminology and procedures reflect current regulatory standards.

The bill includes numerous insertions and deletions, with a significant number of references to "board" being replaced by "office of professional licensure and certification." It also repeals and reenacts various sections of the law, updates definitions, qualifications, and rulemaking authority, and revises procedures for examinations, applications, temporary permits, license expiration and renewal, and compliance with the law. The changes aim to streamline the licensure and certification process for professionals and ensure that the administrative responsibilities are centralized within the office of professional licensure and certification. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024.
