Current Bill Summary

SB 95 - Currently, certain information pertaining to a licensee or applicant under the Division of Professional Registration is treated as confidential and only disclosed with the person's consent, pursuant to litigation or other lawful requests. This act allows the disclosure of applicant or licensee information when requested by members of the General Assembly or their employees.

This act provides that an executive director of a board or commission under the Division of Professional Registration can only serve in this capacity on one board or commission, or a combination of boards or commission with the total number of licensees under the authority of the various boards is two-thousand or less. However, an executive director may serve on multiple boards if serving a different board personnel function.

This act is identical to SB 645 (2014) and to provisions contained in SB 103 (2015).
