Summary

The act adds a citizenship requirement to dozens of state‑regulated occupations, mandating that anyone applying for a license, certificate, permit or similar authorization be a United States citizen or a qualified alien as defined in §4‑58‑102. It amends many code sections—from court reporters and aeronautics instructors to educators and health‑care providers—and includes limited exceptions for certain student visas and for Canadian citizens in specific health‑care provisions.
