Licensing boards extended through 2032

Beginning June 1, 2026, these boards and their rules stay in effect, with regular reviews under the state evaluation law. The Labor Department must report on these boards to the Joint Audit and Evaluation Committee by July 1, 2030. The law adds no new fees or taxes; it extends current oversight.
