A bill for an act relating to the practice of licensed professions and the duties of the professional licensing boards, including applications, renewals, and fees, and including applicability provisions.

This bill updates Iowa's licensing procedures for professionals, requiring all fees from licenses, exams, and inspections to be deposited into a dedicated state fund. It changes how licensing boards operate by prohibiting the director from serving as chairperson and mandating quarterly meetings with a majority quorum. The bill creates an "inactive master electrician license" option, allowing professionals to pause active practice while maintaining eligibility for future renewal. Electricians must complete 18 hours of continuing education (including six hours on electrical codes) every three years to renew active licenses. These changes directly affect licensed professionals, their boards, and the state's fee management system.
