Revises provisions governing state boards and commissions. (BDR 18-973)
SB 274 changes how the Sunset Subcommittee (which reviews state boards and commissions) is led by requiring the Legislative Commission Chair to appoint its Chair and Vice Chair instead of having them elected by the Subcommittee. It also eliminates a requirement for licensing boards to submit quarterly reports on criminal history petitions and denials for applicants. Additionally, the bill repeals the mandate for the Subcommittee to review whether criminal history restrictions on professional licenses are appropriate. These changes reduce administrative reporting burdens on licensing boards and alter the Subcommittee's governance structure.
