Creates provisions relating to the practice of certain licensed professions
HB 1795 prevents cities, counties, and other local governments from creating rules that restrict licensed professionals like doctors, lawyers, or engineers from practicing within their state-defined scope. It blocks local ordinances, regulations, or policies that interfere with these professionals’ authorized work, covering professions regulated under specific state chapters. However, local governments can still enforce zoning, building codes, health/safety rules, and license fees as long as they don’t limit what licensed professionals are legally allowed to do. This bill centralizes regulation of these professions under state law, limiting local authority to only non-interfering health, safety, and zoning matters.
