Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Licensed workers can expunge old discipline

You can ask the state licensing office to hide and stop reporting a past discipline case. Your case must be over 3 years old, with no permanent revocation. You must have no new discipline since, no pending investigations, and your license must be in good standing. If the old action was only a reprimand, an administrative fine, or investigation costs, approval is automatic once you meet the rules. For other actions, you must also show this helps your rehabilitation and protects the public. The office looks at your conduct, the discipline, your rehab and completion, time since completion, testimonials, and work history and goals. Denied? You can request a hearing in writing within 30 days. The record becomes confidential, not public, and treated as expunged for reporting. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.

State licensing office can set procedures

The state licensing office can set rules for complaints, investigations, hearings, and discipline. It can set procedures for non-disciplinary cases, expungements, inspections, payment processing, and applications. It can run a manufactured housing dispute program to decide who must fix defects reported within one year of installation. The executive director may adopt rules to carry this out. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
