Repeals provisions relating to suspension of professional licenses for failure to pay state taxes or file state tax returns

HB 2601 repeals a law that allowed state agencies to suspend professional licenses (such as for doctors, lawyers, or contractors) due to unpaid state taxes or failure to file tax returns. This change directly affects licensed professionals who might have faced license suspension over tax issues. The bill removes the authority to use license suspension as a penalty for tax non-compliance, replacing it with standard fee collection processes. It does not alter tax obligations but ensures license status is no longer tied to tax payment. The bill focuses solely on removing this specific enforcement mechanism.
