Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill HB 2444 now includes a provision that allows the Department to set a licensing fee for trainees through future regulations. This change is significant as it gives the Department more authority to manage trainee fees, which could help fund training programs or ensure they remain sustainable. Additionally, some earlier language has been removed, likely as part of streamlining the bill. Overall, these adjustments could improve the effectiveness of the licensing process for trainees.
