Summary

The act gives the Office of Professional Regulation new authority to rescind licenses for fraudulent activity and requires board members to be adults appointed by the governor without Senate approval. It creates a no‑fee academic‑dentist license, changes fee structures, tightens disclosure and registration rules for massage and bodywork establishments, adds data‑reporting requirements for midwives, broadens pharmacist prescribing powers, and updates the definition of funeral‑service practice to include newer disposition methods. These changes aim to improve consumer protection, streamline credential verification, and modernize professional regulation.
