What This Bill Does
This bill repeals provisions relating to the Office of Professional Licensure Review.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- repeals the requirement that before a legislator introduces legislation to make an occupation a regulated occupation, an individual making a request that an occupation become a regulated occupation submit an application for sunrise review to the Office of Professional Licensure Review; and
- makes technical changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current Utah law, anyone seeking to have an unregulated occupation become state-licensed must first submit a formal application — called a "sunrise review" — to the Office of Professional Licensure Review before any legislation can be introduced. This bill removes that mandatory pre-filing requirement, meaning legislators can now introduce occupational licensing bills without waiting for a sunrise review application to be submitted first, though the application process itself (including its content requirements and $500 fee) remains available and intact. Industry groups or individuals seeking new licensing regulations will no longer face a procedural barrier before their cause can be taken up in the Legislature.
