This bill mandates the establishment of an automated tracking system within the Division of Consumer Affairs to monitor compliance with continuing education requirements for licensed professionals. The system will be utilized by various boards, committees, or entities that oversee professions requiring continuing education for license renewal. It aims to track the credits or hours completed by each licensee and ensure they meet the necessary requirements in a timely manner, regardless of any hardships that may affect the licensee, as determined by the relevant regulatory body.
The bill is set to take effect on the first day of the 13th month following its enactment and will apply to license renewal applications received after this effective date. Additionally, the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs is authorized to take any necessary anticipatory administrative actions to facilitate the implementation of the new system.
