An Update on the Professional Certification Coalition (webinar)

The Professional Certification Coalition (PCC) was formed by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, ICE and ASAE to promote and represent non-governmental professional certification organizations and programs and their service providers. The PCC advances the best interests of those who use or rely on professional certification—such as employers, reimbursers and the general public—as well as of individual professionals themselves who achieve professional certification status.

The PCC has been monitoring and analyzing bills introduced in the 2019 state legislative sessions that impact private certification. The PCC has identified over 60 bills across the nation that affect private certification in four principal contexts:

• Occupational Licensing Reform
• Governmental versus Private Certification
• Consumer Choice Acts (or Right to Earn a Living Acts)
• Criminal Conviction Re-entry Legislation

Attendees of this webinar will gain an understanding of the PCC's mission, current initiatives and implication on private certification and how to get involved.
