House Concurrent Regulatory Review Resolution disapproving the Department of State, Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs regulations on Consideration of Criminal Convictions. (Editorial Note: Final action by the House on this resolution must occur within 30 calendar days or 10 legislative days following its date of report from committee, whichever is later.)

This bill directs the Pennsylvania General Assembly to reject specific regulations proposed by the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs regarding how criminal convictions should be considered in professional licensing. The legislation effectively blocks these rules from becoming official law, ensuring that the Bureau cannot enforce the new standards for evaluating applicants with criminal records. By disapproving the regulations, the bill maintains the status quo and prevents the Bureau from altering the current framework for professional licensure based on criminal history.
