The bill would amend statute to add specific criteria to the Sunset Commission's reviews of agencies that license an occupation, including analyzing the economic impact of the regulation. The bill would allow a person to submit proposed legislation creating or altering an occupational licensing program to the Commission for review and analysis. The Commission would report its findings on the need for regulating the occupation or altering existing regulation to the Legislature before the start of the legislative session. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.
