HF 776: Relating to matters under the purview of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing

What it does

This bill relates to matters under the purview of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing (DIAL). Under current law, licensing boards under the purview of DIAL that regulate business and commerce-related professions are authorized to adopt standards by reference to a publication that is readily accessible on the internet at no cost by including the internet site in the rule adopting the standard rather than posting the publication itself to the entity’s internet site. The bill applies this generally to DIAL and entities under DIAL’s purview.
