S.B. 33 Office of Professional Licensure Review Sunrise Amendments: transcript

Thank you Mr. Chair and Committee. Um, Senate Bill 33, office of Professional Licensure Review. Sunrise Amendments when LER, or Office of Professional Licensure was, uh, put in its current form a few years ago, I think it was Senator Bramble that ran that bill. Um, it was put in place that if a new, if a legislator wanted to sponsor a bill that created a new license regulation, they were required to take it to LER before doing so. Uh, through the process, we found that legislators didn't like that too much. They don't like shall, and, you know, we don't like to be told what to do. So, and sometimes, and that's just the way, you know, kind of the nature. And so we decided, as we talked about this in the interim, during business and labor, uh, we decided it's time to Sunset that provision. So this bill simply takes that out, takes that provision out. With that, Mr. Chair, I'm open for any questions.

Representative Kyle, I, I move that we approve, uh, that we recommend favorably SB 33 Office of Professional Licensure Review, sunrise Amendments.

Yeah. 33 Office of Professional Licensure Review, sunrise Amendments.

So I'm invited my colleagues to help me. It seems like Representative Ballard had a, a statute or a bill to firmly require this will say it can't leave rules until it has had this. Do you Remember? Yeah. Yes, we did that. We're taking it. He, he, our Senator Vickers taking it out of statute and we now have it in rules. Both of them are bad or both of the rule was bad, but I'm glad the Senator Vickers doing this. Both Of them are bad, Bad. This one's good, but I'm glad. So that's why I'm glad he's taking it out. I, so my question on that is, that's a house rule, so it's still going to, we're still going to apply to house, but not to the Senate. There was a senate Resolution. Okay. I think it should be consistent. So, yeah.

Just in response to Representative Dunnigan, I, I think the, the rule, the way it works is it will pass this committee and then be sent back to rules. Does that make Sense? Okay. Respond. So that's how we, that's how we take the workload bills.

Yeah, so it will, it will pass the originating chamber. It'll come to the other chamber. It will go to committee after committee. It gets automatically signed back to rules. Then there's a check between both houses to green light, those that are gonna move forward. And with the Sunset bills, our plan was then it would combine into one bill with all the sunsets That sun Sunset.

So I understand the Sunset. That was actually my role. And Mr. Chair, I think if I could enter maybe, and if you want me to do a summation, I think, but I think I can clear up what you're talking about. 'cause I think you might be talking about two different things.

So I think what you're talking about, Representative Dunnigan is HR two. HR two had a provision that if, um, and it is a house rule, and we had a senate rule when considering legislation that proposed to make an occupation a regulated occupation, a standing committee shall determine whether the office of con office meaning Oler, conducted a Sunset, Sunset, sunrise review of the occupation. So what that really is just saying is simply that if a, a committee had a bill come to them, that they were proposing to do regulation on a new, on an occupation that had not been previously regulated, the committee chairs or the committee would just simply check to see if LER did some kind of a sunrise. And then at that point it's silent so that the chairs or the committee could use that information however they'd like. I I think that's the one you're talking about. This is a little different. This bill simply takes out the provision that a legislator has to go to LER in that circumstance.

to you it was a shall you had to go to ler. We're removing that so that that requirement. And so We'll go to a standing committee and the standing committee will determine if it Uintah ler. Is that it? The Leg, the legislature slate or could choose to go to LER if they chose to uhhuh, but they don't have to. Alright,

Well, it was earlier, but the conversation raises a question in one that is being stricken. It says before the sponsor submits an application for a sunrise review. They do it in the form applicable, but we've strucken all that out. So I'm, I'm, I'm wondering why we still retain an application for a sunrise review when they can just submit the legislation. I mean, is it just voluntary that they can submit a sunrise review if they wish, but, 'cause it's saying before they submit legislation they can do a sunrise review. But we struck that out. So now you don't have to do a sunrise review. You can just submit the legislation. So does that just make sunrise review voluntary?

Is that what it's doing? Yes. Okay. And I also have Jeff Sheway here if you have any more detailed questions.

No, I think that makes sense. Yeah.

No, I think that we've discussed I, I'll waive some further summation. Great. Thank, thank you Representative Kyle. I'll waive.

Motion that we put this on the consent calendar with the consent of the sponsor. I would appreciate that if the committee's willing. Okay.

under some a bill that Senator Bramer Bramble ran. Um, he was putting in place that anytime there was a new licensure coming forward, that it was, it was a shall that LER would be involved in. Give a and given an opinion on that. This actually just removes that language. Uh, we will have later on when we discussed SG SGL two, we'll have a prop, uh, proposal where, uh, whereby a committee would review if LER had made any recommendations. But there's, but it's not mandatory. So essentially this just repeals that that shall language that was established with the current version of Opular.

Thank you. I weigh summation and under suspension the rules move that Senate Bill 33 pass.

Motion to circle Thank you representative.

Thank you. SB 33 is the Office of Professional Licensure Review Sunrise Amendments. Right now, there is a process that requires that a legisla, a legislator, uh, make the sunrise before being able to present it to the legislature and it just, uh, eliminates that requirement. So it can be either or, uh, taking place first.
