SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

HR236 creates a special order of business to continue numerous state licensing boards and commissions under Sunset Law through specific dates, primarily October 1, 2028, with a few targeted modifications.

What This Bill Does

It designates the special order of business for the 26th legislative day, giving it priority over regular business. It lists numerous boards and commissions that are continued under Sunset Law through defined dates (mostly October 1 of various years) and notes certain changes, such as organizational meetings counting as regular meetings, provisional licenses, or replacement of a board. These continuations preserve current regulatory structures and oversight for those professions unless a separate change is enacted.

Who It Affects

• Licensees, applicants, and regulated professionals who must maintain or obtain licenses across the listed boards and commissions.
• The general public and consumers who rely on these boards for licensing oversight, consumer protections, and disciplinary actions.
