Regular Session 2017

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR49 would make HB115–HB124 the Senate's special priority business for the 8th legislative day and extend Sunset Law reviews for multiple professional licensing boards until specified dates.

What This Bill Does

It designates a specific list of bills as the special, paramount, and continuing order of business for the 8th Legislative Day, taking precedence over everything else until those bills are disposed of. Each listed bill continues the Sunset Law review for its respective licensing board, with end dates mostly set to October 1, 2021 (one board extends to October 1, 2020). If enacted, these provisions keep evaluating whether these boards should be renewed or altered after the sunset review period.

Who It Affects

• Senate members and staff, who will manage and execute the special order of business for the 8th Legislative Day.
• Licensing boards and their licensees/publics who rely on Sunset Law reviews (optometry, veterinary medicine, athletic training, speech-language pathology and audiology, interior design, behavior analysis, medical examiners/licensure, marriage and family therapy, podiatry, and home building) by extending their review timelines.
