REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28402 / S1056
This proposed legislation will continue the reorganization of the Division of Occupational and Professional
Licenses consistent with Executive Order No. 2020-10. The proposal will merge the Division of Building
Safety (“DBS”) into the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (“DOPL”) and assign duties of
the DBS Administrator to the DOPL Administrator. The proposed legislation amends the licensing renewal
and reinstatement provisions, to account for differences between licensing boards. Additionally, the proposed
legislation will combine the accounts of the various boards consolidated into DOPL. The accounts will be
combined with the existing dedicated fund account of DOPL.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no impact to the General Fund, nor the Division of Occupational Licenses dedicated fund. The
centralization of the board funds will aid in accounting for the consolidated boards and the Division of
Occupational and Professional Licenses accounts.
