STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS11517
The purpose of this legislation is to repeal the requirements for
Environmental Health Specialists to be licensed and registered with
the Bureau of Occupational Licenses. Licensure and registration with
the National Environmental Health Association may be required as a
minimum qualification of employment by the Division of Human
Resources for Environmental Health Specialists.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact will be to reduce the bureau of Occupational
License budget by less than one percent due to loss of licensure
fees from 121 licensed Environmental Health Specialists.
