relative to administrative rulemaking and license renewals by the office of professional licensure and certification.

This bill updates the rules governing how the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification manages licenses and administrative regulations. It extends the validity of professional licenses to two years and ensures that timely renewal applications keep a license active until the office makes a final decision. The legislation also requires agencies to publish proposed rules online, file interim rules within specific timeframes, and provide detailed reports explaining how public comments were addressed. Additionally, it clarifies the legal process for challenging expired rules in court and mandates that agencies refund any fines or fees collected under invalid regulations.
