Description
Town Meeting TV talks with Vermont's Deputy Secretary of State Chris Winters about recent strides by Vermont’s Office of Professional Regulation (OPR) to reduce barriers to entry for licensed professionals in 50 professions and occupations, without sacrificing public protection.
Working with 12 other states, the Vermont SOS office has implemented: fast track licensing, credit for military experience, apprentice pathways, credential verification for new Americans, second-chance determinations for those with criminal convictions, the addition of compact licensing with 38 other states for nursing and digitization of the entire licensing process. The focus remains on public protection, understanding that licensing and enforcement of licensing standards benefits both the profession regulated and the consumers they serve.
