Good morning,

The Division of Professional Licensure’s (DPL) parent agency, the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR), will be holding a series of five (5) public hearings in July-August 2016, to solicit ideas for possible legislative reforms to be introduced in the next legislative session starting in January 2017.

On behalf of OCABR, DPL invites any interested stakeholders, industry and professional associations, consumers, schools and members of the public interested in the work of the agency or who regularly work with our boards and offices, to participate in any or all of the hearings. As it relates to DPL, the agency is seeking ideas and suggestions for possible legislative reforms to the licensing statutes administered by our 28 boards of registration, as well as the Office of Private Occupational School Education. Hearings will be held in: Boston, Lowell, Plymouth, Springfield, and Worcester.  Ideas and suggestions from both the consumer and business perspective are welcome.

Please note that other OCABR agencies, including the Division of Banks, Division of Insurance, Division of Standards, and the Department of Telecommunications and Cable, will also be participating in the hearings. Attendees are welcome to offers ideas for statutory changes to those agencies, or programs administered by them, as well.

Please refer to the attached flyer for additional information and details on the hearings. An electronic copy is available on DPL’s website, as well as each board of registration’s homepage.

Thank you.
