Occupational Licensing Review Commission; revise membership and authority of members of.
This bill changes how Mississippi's Occupational Licensing Review Commission is structured and operates. It adds the Lieutenant Governor, Commissioner of Insurance, and State Treasurer to the commission's membership while removing the Attorney General, and requires all proposed occupational regulations to be reviewed by the commission before they can be filed or take effect. The legislation also expands the commission's authority by allowing any member to request assistance from state agencies and permitting a majority vote to call meetings, rather than requiring the chair to do so. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commission must review all submissions within 150 calendar days.
