What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that any person who intentionally makes a material

misstatement or omission or who submits falsified documentation in an application

for a credential or for the renewal of a credential issued by the Department of Safety

and Professional Services or an attached credentialing board is guilty of a Class A

misdemeanor, for which the penalty is a fine not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment

not to exceed nine months, or both. The bill specifies that in an action for a violation

of the crime created in the bill, the defendant shall be tried in the county where the

Office of the Secretary of Safety and Professional Services is located, and the bill

requires DSPS to ensure that all application forms for such credentials include a

statement regarding the prohibition and penalty created in the bill.
