Summary of Bill HR 3013

The LICENSE Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 hr 3013, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a national standard for occupational licensing across all states.

The bill aims to streamline the process for obtaining occupational licenses by creating a national database of licensed professionals.

This would help to create a more level playing field for individuals seeking to enter various professions. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to increase transparency and accountability in the licensing process. States would be required to regularly report on the number of licenses issued, the fees charged, and any disciplinary actions taken against licensed professionals. Overall, the LICENSE Act of 2023 aims to modernize and improve the occupational licensing system in the United States, making it easier for individuals to enter and succeed in their chosen professions.
