The bill seeks to amend various sections of the Revised Code to enhance and streamline Ohio's occupational regulations, particularly focusing on licensing and certification processes across multiple professions. Key provisions include the establishment of a systematic review process for occupational licensing boards, requiring evaluations every two years by both the House and Senate. Each board will be mandated to submit detailed reports on their operations, and standing committees may accept prior reports from the legislative service commission to simplify the review process. Additionally, the bill modifies licensing requirements for nuisance wild animal removal operators, changing the fee structure and extending the license renewal period from annually to every three years, while also clarifying definitions and responsibilities related to nuisance wild animal control.

The legislation also introduces significant changes to the regulation of various professions, including the licensing of home inspectors and athlete agents, as well as updates to the requirements for radiologist assistants. For home inspectors, the bill mandates a specific curriculum and continuing education requirements, while for athlete agents, it establishes new contract requirements and a registration process under the administrator of athletics. Furthermore, the bill outlines the qualifications for mine safety personnel, provides civil immunity for mine rescue crews, and enhances the regulatory framework for radioactive materials and radiation-generating equipment. Overall, the bill aims to improve regulatory efficiency, safety, and compliance across multiple sectors in Ohio.
