An Act amending Title 63 (Professions and Occupations (State Licensed)) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in powers and duties, providing for temporary rulemaking authority.
This law gives Pennsylvania licensing boards temporary power to create short-term rules specifically for professional licensing compacts that the state has joined. These temporary regulations must be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will automatically expire on that publication date, while the rules themselves must end no later than three years after being issued. Once these temporary rules expire, any future regulations for these compacts must follow the standard rulemaking process required by existing law. The bill affects state agencies responsible for overseeing licensed professions and ensures that any new compact-related rules are time-limited.
