 Foreword

 

We conducted this comparative study of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs’ requirements for license for professions and vocations in response to House Concurrent Resolution No. 156, Regular Session of 2005, which requires that the Office of the Auditor conduct a comparative study of professional and vocational regulation in other states and in Hawaii, including educational, testing, experience, or other requirements.

We wish to express our appreciation for the cooperation and assistance extended to us by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and other offices and individuals whom we contacted during the course of our study.
