Advancing Universal Licensure and Reining in Boards

Description

This bill establishes a universal licensure framework and sets operational standards for occupational boards so qualified professionals from other jurisdictions can more easily obtain North Dakota licenses. It pushes back against protectionist licensing barriers that block workers and drive up costs. CPAC opposes unnecessary occupational licensing and supported this bill. The House passed this bill on 2025-03-28 by a vote of 89-2. The bill later became law.
