Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced his 2020 occupational licensing reform objectives. One bill would allow an occupational license from one Florida county to be valid in all Florida counties. Another bill would create sunset legislation to require the Legislature to re-authorize licensing requirements on a regular basis. The Governor would also like to see a "comprehensive bill to limit or remove unnecessary occupational licensing requirements," including prohibiting boards from denying a license based solely on student loan default.
