Summary of Legislation
The bill continues the State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, and
Professional Land Surveyors in the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), which is
scheduled to repeal on September 1, 2024, for nine years, until September 1, 2033. The bill also
makes changes to the program, including:
adding failure to respond to the board regarding complaints as a grounds for discipline;
updating references to names of professional examinations;
allowing noncitizens and nonresidents to be board members; and
repealing references regarding the Occupational Credential Portability Program.
The full sunset report can be found here.
Continuing Program Impacts
Based on recent appropriations, DORA is expected to have revenue of about $1.5 million and
expenditures of about $1.3 million to administer the program. If this bill is enacted, current
revenue and expenditures will continue for the program starting in FY 2025-26. This continuing
revenue is subject to the state TABOR limits. If this bill is not enacted, the program will end on
September 1, 2024, following a wind-down period, and state revenue and expenditures will
decrease starting in FY 2025-26 by the amounts shown in Table 1. The changes to the program
do not drive additional revenue and costs.
Effective Date
The bill was signed into law by the Governor on June 3, 2024, and takes effect on
August 7, 2024, assuming no referendum petition is filed.
