OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING REFORM ACT – Repeals and adds to existing law to provide for certain reporting requirements to be made by state agencies that are licensing authorities.

H 151, the Occupational Licensing Reform Act, requires Idaho state agencies that issue professional licenses (like for nurses, contractors, or cosmetologists) to report specific data in their annual performance reports starting in 2027. It mandates agencies to track and publicly report details including total licensees, new licenses issued, denied applications, renewals, complaints received, and disciplinary actions categorized as either "quality-related" (causing direct harm, like medical errors) or "technical" (like missed continuing education). Agencies must also provide brief, de-identified summaries of quality-related disciplinary cases for public understanding. This replaces an existing reporting requirement and takes effect July 1, 2025.
