OH SB44

State occupational licensing agencies must require applicants to submit initial license, certificate, registration, or authorization applications using an electronic licensing system of the agency's choosing.

Agencies may adopt a policy allowing paper application submissions as an alternative option.

If an agency adopts a paper application policy, it must still accept and not require electronic applications submitted through its electronic licensing system.

The Ohio Supreme Court is exempt from this requirement when issuing initial licenses under Ohio Constitution, Article IV, Section 5.
