If DSPS implements measures to phase in four-year renewal periods or to stagger
renewal dates within a profession, the bill requires DSPS to do so by administrative rule.
The bill also grants emergency rulemaking authority to DSPS and the credentialing
boards to implement the provisions of the bill without making a finding of emergency, and
allows an emergency rule to remain in effect until May 1, 2025, or the date on which the
permanent rule takes effect, whichever is sooner. Lastly, the bill specifies that its
provisions take effect on the first day of the third month following enactment.
