Program: Occupational and Professional Licensing Function The Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) is responsible for licensing and regulating more than 60 occupations and professions established by law. The Division establishes minimum requirements for licensing, investigates unlawful or unprofessional conduct, and conducts administrative proceedings against individuals who allegedly engage in unlawful or unprofessional conduct. The Division also oversees the Medical Malpractice Pre-litigation Hearing Program, the Uniform Building Code Act, the Residence Lien Recovery Fund, and Construction Standards for Manufactured Housing. "The mission of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) is to safeguard the public health, safety, and welfare through appropriate licensing and regulation of persons engaged in certain professions or occupations. In connection with its mission, the Division makes available to the public, at their request or upon the Division's initiative for compelling reason, information known to the Division which may be released under the provisions of law, and which is necessary for the public to know to ensure their health, safety, and welfare." Statutory Authority Utah Code Annotated 58 contains individual licensing acts for each occupation and profession administered by DOPL. Chapter 1 of Title 58 and Chapter 1 of Title R156 are called "umbrella chapters" because they consist of general provisions that apply uniformly to all occupations and professions regulated by DOPL. However, the provisions in the specific chapters under these titles are unique to each respective occupation or profession. Funding Detail The majority of the funding that comes to DOPL is through fees assessed on the various licenses and professions that are administered through the Division. 2010
