What is the new designation for the Division of Professional Licensure post-2021?

The Division of Professional Licensure was officially rebranded as the Division of Occupational Licensure in 2021. This change reflects a broader emphasis on regulating various professions under a single, more inclusive umbrella that encompasses a wide range of occupational licenses. The intent behind this rebranding was to streamline the regulatory process and improve the efficiency of licensing practices across multiple professions, including chiropractic care.

The term "occupational licensure" emphasizes the focus on licensing requirements and regulations applicable to various occupations, rather than isolating specific fields. This shift is significant for all professionals in licensed trades and services, ensuring a consistent regulatory framework and enhancing professional standards across the board. Understanding this rebranding helps practitioners stay informed about the regulatory bodies governing their licenses and ensures compliance with current practices.
