Massachusetts H317 amends professional licensure regulations, giving the commissioner oversight and the ability to recommend changes.

Massachusetts H317 modifies the state's professional licensure framework by assigning the commissioner of occupational licensure the responsibility to oversee the boards of registration and examination. The commissioner is tasked with recommending changes in examination methods and business practices, and reporting to the governor and council as necessary. Additionally, the commissioner can consider requests to lower licensure standards but cannot approve such requests without a majority vote from the relevant board.
