REDUCING BARRIERS TO LICENSURE

Summary

The bill revises Department of Professional Regulation rules so an application cannot be automatically placed on hold, delayed, or denied simply because the applicant is incarcerated. It also bars denial of certain licenses when an applicant has a certificate of relief from disabilities, even if they have prior convictions, and makes sealed licensure records non‑reportable. The changes are intended to broaden access to professional licenses for people with criminal histories.
