Consumer Protection Department board schedules in-person licensing review for June 26; members clear badge logistics
Summary
The Consumer Protection Department board voted unanimously to hold an in-person meeting June 26 to review licensing statutes and regulations, and discussed security badge and parking arrangements for members.
John DeRosa, chairman, led the Consumer Protection Department board in a unanimous vote to hold an in-person meeting on June 26 to review licensing statutes and rules.
The meeting will focus on Title 20 and Chapter 393 licensing requirements, which board members said they want printed and available for review. “It would be great if we can have a copy of Title 20, occupational licensing for the board members in Chapter 393,” John DeRosa said.
The vote followed a motion from Paul Farnsworth, unlimited contractor member, and a second from Todd Johnston, public member. Farnsworth moved “that we have an in person meeting June 26 to review licensing requirements.” Johnston seconded the motion and DeRosa called the vote; members answered “aye” and the motion carried.
Board members and staff also addressed logistical preparations for the in-person meeting. A staff member said security and badge reactivation would be coordinated with the Division of Administrative Services, advising members that expired badges may require a new photograph and that members could arrive early to resolve access issues. Paul Farnsworth asked explicitly about parking and whether photo identification would be required; a staff member replied that security would have members’ names and could reactivate access or take new photos on-site.
The board discussed outreach to ensure attendance. A staff member asked that board leadership contact members who had been absent to emphasize the importance of attending the in-person review; John DeRosa said he would contact John Messner to request a written resignation if Messner intended to resign and would follow up with other members as needed.
