As a result, professionals licensed by the state are reporting monthslong waits for new permits or renewals, slowing businesses statewide. Some boards and commissions have voted to take emergency action, extending existing licenses longer than normally allowed by state law.
That board processes renewals in June; for the past two cycles, the board had to extend expirations through September. To address the problem, Gov. Mike Dunleavy has proposed a major increase in the budget for the state’s office of professional licensing, and lawmakers appear ready to approve that request.
While some of that increase was caused by a growing number of workers, it’s also been caused by regulatory spread.
