2018 House Bill 5955

Senate Roll Call 775: Passed

To prohibit local governments from imposing new licensure mandates on individuals seeking to earn a living in a particular occupation if the state already imposes its own licensure mandate on that occupation. Locals could keep their current licensure mandates but not impose any new ones. However, if the state imposes any new licensure mandates on an occupation already subject to local licensure, the local governments involved would have to stop enforcing their own restrictions on working in that field.
