2004 Senate Bill 1231 ↩

Senate Roll Call 415: Passed

To require that the professional licenses required before an individual may practice any one of dozens of occupations requiring licensure be either granted or denied within 90 days of filing an application. The state would have to notify an applicant within 30 days if an application requires additional information or is not “administratively complete.” If the deadline is not met, the application fee would be waived, and the applicant would be granted a 15-percent discount on fees required in the following year. The bill is part of a permit streamlining package comprised of Senate bills 1207 to 1236, and House Bills 5876 to 5904.
