BSRB updates: CE Broker adoption, technology refresh and review of unprofessional conduct rules
Summary
The BSRB told the advisory committee it has moved to CE Broker for continuing education tracking, is updating staff laptops, and is compiling a cross‑profession grid to standardize unprofessional conduct regulations.
Executive Director David Fye updated the advisory committee on several operational items, including the board’s adoption of CE Broker for continuing-education tracking, an agency technology refresh and a multi‑profession review of unprofessional conduct regulations.
“CE Broker is a free service for licensees to track continuing education,” Fye said. He told the committee the board negotiated an arrangement so the basic CE Broker service is optional and free for licensees; paid tiers are discretionary. “The majority of the comments that we have received have been positive from licensees,” he said, while also noting some providers have reported onboarding issues.
Technology and operations: Fye said the agency is replacing leased laptops as leases expire following pandemic-era provisions; staff are transitioning to new devices with assistance from the Office of Information Technology Services. He described a few minor technical issues but called the transition “fairly smooth.”
Unprofessional conduct regulations: Fye said the board has asked staff and advisory committees to review unprofessional-conduct regulations across the seven professions overseen by the BSRB. To support comparison, staff created a detailed grid showing language across professions and posted a draft grid and supporting documents to the agency website for review. “Some of those regulations had not been updated in over 20 years,” Fye said, and the board is considering whether to standardize language where appropriate while preserving profession‑specific differences.
Advisory committee membership and process: Fye also described the committee-appointment process. Advisory committees may include three to 10 non-board members; terms are two years with a four-term limit. He said staff will email licensees to solicit letters of interest and CVs if the committee wishes to add members and will report back in June. The board recently adopted a rule allowing reappointment after a two-year break in service.
Ending: Committee members thanked staff for the updates and asked staff to circulate additional materials and timelines so members can review the grid and provide input prior to the next meeting.
