AN ACT REQUIRING PAYMENT OF CERTAIN PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES AS A PRECONDITION TO PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE RENEWALS.

HB 5165 requires applicants to prove they have paid all personal property taxes on tools or equipment used in their profession before renewing professional or occupational licenses. This applies directly to licensed professionals (like doctors, contractors, or accountants) who rely on personal property for their work. The bill mandates that state licensing boards cannot process renewals until applicants verify current tax payments, linking license status to property tax compliance.
