As jurisdictions explore licensing reform, ARPL has identified three common approaches:
- Consolidation – Proposals that seek to combine multiple professions into a single multi-disciplinary board.
- Composition Changes – Reducing the number of subject matter experts (SMEs) on a board in favor of public members without professional expertise.
- Functional Reorganization – Efforts to shift administrative functions from licensing boards to central administrative agencies.
This resource provides key considerations and best practices to ensure reforms support public protection, professional competence and effective oversight.
