Professional and Occupational Regulation, Department of; licensing, regulatory boards. (SB1751)
Sen. Frank Ruff (R-Clarksville) with support from co-patron Sen. Ryan McDougle (R-Mechanicsville)
Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Permits the Director of DPOR, or his designee, to issue a notice to any person unlawfully engaging in unlicensed practice of an occupation to cease and desist such activity. The bill also provides that following the close of any biennium, when the account for any regulatory board within the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation shows that unspent and unencumbered revenue exceeds 20 percent or $100,000 of the total expenses allocated to the regulatory board for the past biennium, whichever is greater, the regulatory board must (i) distribute all such excess revenue to current regulants of the board and (ii) reduce the fees levied by it for certification, licensure, registration, or permit and renewal thereof so that the fees are sufficient but not excessive to cover expenses. Under current law, these boards are required to adjust their fees when their account shows expenses allocated to it for the past biennium to be more than 10 percent greater or less than moneys collected on behalf of the board. Current law does not require the boards to distribute excess funds to regulants. The provisions of the bill requiring the distribution of excess revenue and the reduction of fees have a delayed effective date of July 1, 2022. Amends § 19.2-389, § 54.1-111, § 54.1-113, § 54.1-2349, § 54.1-2354, § 54.1-304, § 54.1-500, § 55-509.3, § 55-509.6, § 55-528, § 55-529, § 55-530.1, § 55-79.97:1, of the Code of Virginia.
