SB 315 - Under this act, beginning on August 28, 2019, no political subdivision of this state shall impose any occupational fees or licensing requirements on any profession if the political subdivision does not already impose occupational fees or licensing requirements on that profession. The political subdivision may continue to regulate any profession or occupation that is subject to occupational fees or licensing requirements so long as the fees do not exceed $25 per year. If a profession is already subject to occupational fees that exceed $25 per year, the existing fees do not apply and the licensing authority shall immediately reduce the fees to $25. A political subdivision shall not impose any additional regulations on professions subject to licensing requirements by a state licensing authority.
Beginning on August 28, 2019, if a state licensing authority imposes any new licensing requirements on any profession that was previously unregulated by the state, and if the political subdivision regulates the profession when the state regulations take effect, the political subdivision may not continue to require occupational fees or licensing requirements for the profession on or after the date when the state regulations take effect.
