Led State Regulation and Licensing Initiative for Health Care Client

Challenge:  

More favorable treatment of a client’s health-related profession in state regulation. 

Stateside Solution:  

  • We produced a report detailing the current licensing and education accreditation standards for the client in all 50 states. 
  • We identified key state licensing opportunities for client comment and participation. 
  • We led recruitment efforts for vacancies on a local professional board. 
  • We drafted client comments and amendments for rulemakings and legislation. 
  • We obtained regulatory agency support for amendments to legislation that created a new professional license. 
  • We represented the client on an initial rulemaking advisory committee for a new state license. We also secured the appointment for the client. 

Results:

Our efforts resulted in increased visibility of client licensing issues on professional board agendas, which led to favorable rule amendments.
