TO REPEAL THE LAW REQUIRING OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING ENTITIES TO SUBMIT A REPORT CONCERNING THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS GRANTED AUTOMATIC OCCUPATIONAL LICENSURE AND EXPEDITED OCCUPATIONAL LICENSURE.

SB 387 repeals a requirement for occupational licensing entities (like boards for cosmetologists, plumbers, or electricians) to submit an annual report tracking how many individuals received automatic or expedited occupational licenses. This bill removes the specific provision in Arkansas law that mandated these entities to report the number of people granted such licenses each year. The change affects all occupational licensing boards covered under Arkansas Code § 17-4-110, eliminating their obligation to provide this data to the House Committee on Aging, Children and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs. The bill does not alter licensure standards or processes, only the reporting requirement.
