Committee advances small change to DOPL attorney classification to floor
Summary
Senate Bill 10-56, a narrow technical change to allow the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) attorneys a different classification that can affect hiring and compensation, received a due-pass recommendation from the House Business Committee.
Representative Megan Egbert presented Senate Bill 10-56 on March 5, 2025, describing the measure as "very simple" and limited to adding one line to code that clarifies attorney classification within the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL). Egbert said the change addresses a hiring and compensation issue that arose when DOPL combined boards in 2020 and the attorney positions retained a classification that limited compensation flexibility.
Egbert told the committee the change would not alter DOPL's overall budget or require new appropriations; rather, it would allow DOPL more flexibility in hiring and setting compensation within its existing appropriation. No members of the public testified on SB 10-56, and the committee voted to send the bill to the House floor with a due-pass recommendation.
The motion to advance SB 10-56 carried by voice vote; no opposition was recorded in the committee transcript.
