The primary bill
sponsors, Representatives McCormick and Gilchrist, introduced House Bill
26-1324 to the House Health and Human Services Committee. The bill makes
several changes to the Division of Professions and Occupations (DPO) in
the Department of Regulatory Agencies, as recommended in the divisionâs
sunset review. Specifically, the bill: allows a regulator to delegate authority
for certain administrative tasks authorized through the policies of a board
or commission to a designee at the regulatorâs discretion; extends the
amount of time for a licensee who receives a letter of admonition to request
a hearing from 20 to 25 days; authorizes the DPO to send correspondences
to licensees electronically; and raises the amount of excise tax collected
upon payment of license renewal fees and used for legal defense purposes
from $1 to $2. |
