STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29471 / S1297
Consistent with the Occupational Licensing Reform Act, this bill allows for the Division of Occupational and
Professional Licenses (DOPL) boards or commissions and division staff to share investigatory information
regarding licensees with other boards and commissions to create efficiency within division investigations. The
bill ensures all complaints, investigations, and informal proceeding records are exempt from disclosure under
the Public Records Act.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no impact on the State's General Fund or any dedicated fund or federal funds.
The bill does not increase the amount of licensing investigations or the associated costs and does not
impact the Division of Occupational and Professional License's dedicated fund. The bill seeks to simplify
the administrative burden of duplicative investigative work and could lead to quicker investigations and
processing of licensing complaints.
