What This Bill Does
Extends the deadline for certain certificate holders in a specific occupational registration category to renew their certification without taking an exam, now pushing the requirement to September 1, 2037 instead of the previous 2027 date. Certificate holders must pass the registration examination adopted by the board before September 1, 2037 to continue renewing their certification, with the provision expiring on January 1, 2039. The change provides additional time for professionals to meet examination requirements while maintaining standards for the occupational registration.
