The committee reviewed SB 211 and legislative audit reports recommending extensions for six occupational licensing boards. Auditors flagged lengthy vacancies, fee‑setting delays that produced deficits, investigative backlogs and federal compliance issues for the appraisers board.

SB 211 would extend the sunset dates of six professional licensing boards. The legislative auditor recommended staggered extensions (4–8 years) and made board-specific recommendations on vacancies, fee procedures and federal oversight; the committee set the bill aside for further consideration.
